SUMMARY
Windows NT is not compatible with the U.S. Robotics WinModem. In Windows
95, this modem is controlled by a device driver that replaces the Windows
95 Serial.vxd device driver. U.S. Robotics does not have a replacement for
the Windows NT Serial.sys device driver, so the WinModem will not function
in Windows NT.
MORE INFORMATION
The U.S. Robotics WinModem is an adapter that plugs in to your computer,
similar to an internal modem. The WinModem, however, has no modem
controller on the adapter. The Serial.vxd replacement from U.S. Robotics
implements all modem functions normally handled by the modem controller,
including: AT command execution, error control, and data compression.
The WinModem is manufactured by U.S. Robotics, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
product's performance or reliability.
