    Setup

--------------------------------------------------------------- 
1. If No Card and Socket Services are Found During Setup 

Express Setup can configure your PC Card only if Card and 
Socket Services are installed and functioning correctly, and 
resources (e.g., IO ports, memory windows, IRQs) are available.
When these two requirements are met, Setup's Express Mode will 
determine a configuration for you.  

If Card and Socket Services are not installed or are not 
functioning correctly, Express Setup will be grayed out and you
will not be able to select it--you must use the Custom Setup.  
This means you must specify the COM port, IRQ, and memory 
exclusions you want your Megahertz modem to use.  This 
information should be in your computer's manual. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
2.  If You Receive the Message "Comport not Available" During
    Setup

Computers with Databook controllers may give a false "Comport 
not Available" error message during installation.  If you 
receive this message and are installing your Megahertz modem in 
a computer with a Databook controller, ignore the message.  
The controller type should be located in your computer's 
manual.
  

---------------------------------------------------------------
3.  If You Receive the Message "Unable to Set Comm Port" During
    Setup

Computers with Vadem controllers may give a false "Unable to 
Set Comm Port" error message during installation.  If you 
receive this message and are installing your Megahertz modem in 
a computer with a Vadem controller, ignore the message.  
The controller type should be located in your computer's 
manual.

---------------------------------------------------------------
4.  Using the Diagnostic Software

DIAGNOSE.EXE allows you to easily collect information about 
your computer and any inserted PC Cards.  The information is 
then used to verify that your system is running correctly, or 
to fix any problems.  

To use DIAGNOSE, enter DIAGNOSE and any of the following flags 
you want to use with it at the DOS prompt.  

The correct format is as follows:
  DIAGNOSE /A /D=directory /L /M /? filename

All flags are optional.

The flags are as follows:
                        
/A            Print all information without any user 
              interaction
/D=directory  Send or receive files to the specified directory
/L            Test LAN functionality even if not running under 
              DOS
/M            Print in monochrome
/?            Print out this list of available flags
filename      Save the program results in the specified file

When you enter DIAGNOSE at the DOS prompt, a screen will appear 
that explains what DIAGNOSE is, how to get the results, and 
where the results of this session are being stored.  Press any 
key to go to the main DIAGNOSE menu, where you can select the 
information you need. 
---------------------------------------------------------------  
5.  Disabling IBM Internal Modems

If you are using an IBM Thinkpad 755CSE or other IBM computer 
that has an internal modem, you must disable it in order to 
use your PC Card.  To do this, follow these steps:

A.  Load Windows
B.  Open the IBM Thinkpad Setup Group
C.  Open the DSP Icon
D.  Remove the check from the Telephony Function
E.  Save 
F.  Reboot the computer 

---------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Computers With Nonstandard IRQs
     
Following is a list of machines that use nonstandard IRQs, and 
the resources recommended for use with your Megahertz modem.
