Modem Reference Information
If your computer has a modem port, you can customize the operation of the modem using
AT commands and S-registers. You can do this from Modem (Windows ME, 95 or 98) or
Phone And Modem Options (Windows 2000) in Control Panel, from most
communications software, or by using terminal mode in your software. See “To change
your modem settings” on page 60.
Note
You should have a good understanding of modems and how they operate before you
change default settings.
This section contains summary information about AT commands, S-registers, and
selected result codes for the built-in modem:
• 3Com Modem. If your computer has a LAN port and a modem port, you have a 3Com
modem.
• Ambit Modem. If your computer has a modem port but no LAN port, you have an
Ambit modem.
