Using an Unsupported Modem with Windows NT RAS

MORE INFORMATION

1. Many modem vendors have created Modem.inf files for use with Windows NT RAS. See if yours has by visiting the modem vendor's WWW site or BBS.
2. When you are configuring RAS, select a modem setting of "Hayes Compatible." RAS includes support for four generic "Hayes Compatible XXXX" modems, where XXXX represents 1200, 2400, 9600, or 14400 (pick the proper speed for your modem). Configuring your modem as a Hayes Compatible device may allow it to function properly with RAS.
3. Select another modem by the same manufacturer as your modem. If your modem is similar (e.g., if it has the same speed or supported communication standards) to a Windows NT-supported modem by the same manufacturer, try configuring your modem in RAS as that supported modem. You may need to modify the Modem.inf section of the supported modem to make it compatible with your modem.
4. Edit the Modem.inf file and add a new section for your modem. Before making any changes to Modem.inf, make a backup of the file. Use one of the existing modem sections as a template for your new section. Modify the settings to reflect the appropriate commands for your modem, as defined in the documentation for your modem.
