communications software from the four diskettes
labeled “FocalPoint” that accompanied the modem

The online documentation guide contains information you
need to configure and use the modem.

Robotics Sportster On-Line Documentation
diskette that accompanied the computer. Dell recom-
mends that you store this diskette in a safe place so you
can reinstall the guide if you install a new hard-disk drive
or rebuild a corrupted drive.
If you installed the modem yourself, use the U.S. Robotics
Sportster On-Line Documentation diskette to load the
online documentation onto your hard-disk drive. Then
store the diskette in a safe place. Installation instructions
are on the diskette label.
To print any section of the online documentation, open
the guide, and select File-->Print. From the Print menu,
