Hi Russell, [Thus spake Russell Brooks unto Sunny Leung:] SL>> Thanks for uploading the .INF files to the BBS I use. That was extremely SL>> kind of you. SL> I also figured out how to get connection statistics (ATI6, ATI11 etc.) SL> working in Win 95. What happens is that Win 95 resets USRs with ATZ SL> after each conenct, so all that had to be done is to find the SL> appropriate key in the Win 95 registry and change ATZ to AT&F1 :-) RB> OK, I'm off to have a little look at the registry myself, now You might find the below interesting, from John Navas' Modem FAQ, http://web.aimnet.com/~jnavas/modem/faq.html: =========================================================================== Any Windows 95 tips? What is TAPI? What is Plug and Play? UNDER CONSTRUCTION -- please be patient. Connection Statistics If you have a USR modem and want to access your ATI6 Link Diagnostics (see "Any other USRobotics tips?") for a dialup TCP/IP session, do the following: 1. Run "REGEDIT" to launch the Registry Editor. 2. Find the entry for your modem, which should be something like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000 (If you have more than one modem, the number may be 0001, 0002, etc.) 3. Change the "Reset" value, which will probably be "ATZ" or "ATZ4", to "AT&F" or "AT&F1" respectively. 4. After disconnecting from a dialup TCP/IP session, open a HyperTerminal direct connection session to your modem, type "ATI6" (no quotes), and press the key. (What you type may not be echoed to the screen, but the ATI6 output should appear.) HyperTerminal PE HyperTerminal Personal Edition, an upgrade to Windows 95 HyperTerminal that provides improvements (auto-redial on busy and ZMODEM Crash Recovery) as well as bug fixes, is available from Hilgraeve at no charge. Internet Explorer Download the latest version of Microsoft's World Wide Web browser. Plug and Play Windows 95 supports "Plug and Play," a standard that makes it possible for the operating system to automatically detect and configure most peripheral devices. Plug and Play modems are available from USRobotics and Supra. TAPI TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) is an architecture being developed by Microsoft to bring order out of the past chaos in comm software and modem interaction. "TAPI compliant" applications rely on new standard Windows services (provided by the Unimodem driver/provider) rather than controlling the modem directly, which makes it possible for multiple comm applications to share the same modem. With a proper modem INF file and a sufficiently capable modem, separate data, fax, and voice applications could be "registered" with TAPI (once Microsoft's implementation is complete) such that an incoming call is automatically connected to the right application. TAPI is being developed first for Windows 95, with Windows NT to follow. The original TAPI SDK (Software Development Kit) is available over the Internet. Unimodem V "Unimodem V is Microsoft's newest release of Unimodem, the Windows universal modem driver/telephony service provider for data/fax modems. Unimodem V provides the driver support that sits between telephony applications and voice modems and allows them to work together. This driver adds the most-requested features to support data/fax/voice modems, including wave playback and record to/from the phone line, wave playback and record to/from the handset, and support for speakerphone, Caller ID, distinctive ringing, and call forwarding." [Quote from Microsoft] Unimodem is TAPI-complaint. Updated Drivers Audio Display Modem Mouse Storage Unimodem V ========================================================================== Sunny ...
