Using Remote Access Service
Modems
Adding a New Modem to MODEMS.INF
NOTE: Microsoft Product Support Services only supports the version of MODEMS.INF that
ships with Microsoft LAN Manager Remote Access service. If you modify the file
and your new modem does not work, restore the original version of the file, and use
one of the modems listed earlier in this appendix.
If you are using a modem that is not explicitly supported in MODEMS.INF,
you can append a new section containing the command strings required by
your modem. The name of the section should be the name of your modem
and should be enclosed in brackets. If the [default] section does not contain
the command strings required by your modem, use the macros defined in the
preceding section to define new ones. Examples of their use are shown in the
listing of the MODEMS.INF file.
NOTE: When adding a new section to MODEMS.INF, append it to the end of the file, rather
than inserting it somewhere in the middle. This precaution reduces the chances of
inadvertently corrupting existing entries.
To modify MODEMS.INF for a new modem
1 Back up your existing MODEMS.INF file.
2 Type the section title, using the format [modemname].
3 Add a MAXBAUD line listing the modem's maximum baud rate. This is the
computer-to-modem speed, not the modem-to-modem speed.
*May vary depending on CPU speed, memory speed, software running, and
other factors.
