Hi Russell,

[Thus spake Russell Brooks unto Sunny Leung:]

 SL>> Thanks for uploading the .INF files to the BBS I use. That was extremely

 RB> OK, I'm off to have a little look at the registry myself, now

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.
