STEP 2: Run the Modem’s Installation Program
Sportster Winmodem 33600 & x2/56K comes with an installation
diskette that contains an installation program that will help your
computer finish installing the modem. This program will also copy
modem programs from the diskette onto your computer’s
hard drive.
The installation program runs a little differently for Windows 95
than it does for Windows 3.1 and 3.11. In this section, follow the
steps for the Windows operating system you have. Skip the
other set of Windows instructions.

port labeled In use. (If you choose an In use port, the device that
has been using that port will not work.)
Write the COM port on the first page of this manual. You may
need to know the number later.
When you’ve finished the installation program, Windows will
restart.
