SUMMARY
The Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server version 4.0 Start Here
manual provides instructions in Appendix D on how to install Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups computers to be clients to the Small Business
Server. Some of these instructions may be misleading or confusing. This
article discusses and clarifies these instructions.
MORE INFORMATION
Page 161 of the Start Here manual gives instructions on how to install the
Microsoft Modem Sharing Client Software on a computer running Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups. The modem sharing client software will work on a
Windows for Workgroups client, however, it will not function correctly when
used with either the Remote Access Service (RAS) or the Terminal tool that
ships with Windows for Workgroups.
RAS and Terminal both require the communications driver, Comm.drv, that
ships with Windows for Workgroups. The Modem Sharing Client Software
provides a specialized communications driver, Serrdr.drv, to connect to
remote COM ports.
