- Dear customer, Vienna, on January 23rd, 1996
-

-
- Update of the Windows95 MDMZYXEL.INF file for the ZyXEL U-1496 modem series
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- You might have following question which comes from one customer who
- asked in the ZyXEL support forum on CompuServe (GO ZYXEL):
- >Help!! My ZyXEL 1496E (external) does not work with Win 95!!
- >I heard about a hardware problem with this model. Is that true?
- >Who can fix this problem and help me??
-
- Answer: sorry guys - this is my mistake !
- I wrote the Windows95 modem script files which are distributed with the
- European (!) versions of Windows95.
-
- For the U-1496 modem series there is a little line in the modem script
- "MDMZYXEL.INF" which makes the working with those modem which have
- firmware versions older then v6.0x ("ati0" will report you the firmware
- version in those cases) impossible. Windows95 recognizes the U-1496x modem
- but doesn't dial because of an initialization error of the S50 register
- which doesn't exist in the firmware < v6.0x
-
- This bug has been found first by a very popular Austrian TV-News moderator,
- Josef Broukal, - so I have to thank him once more for his bug report !
-
-
- There are two solutions:
- ------------------------
- 1.) get a new Windows95 modem script for ZyXEL U-1496 series
- (here in CompuServe ("MDMZYX14.ZIP") oder on Internet
- ftp://ftp.ping.at/pub/users/zyxel/software/Windows95/mdmzyx14.zip),
- uncompress this file with PKUNZIP, copy the "MDMZYXEL.INF" into
- the \WINDOWS\INF directory. Then start the "modem install wizzard"
- in the "START/Settings/Control-Panel/Modems" and install your modem
- again !
-
- 2.) upgrade the firmware of your old ZyXEL U-1496x to the current
- version v6.15 (in this case you will have to burn the firmware
- into two EPROMs and do a hardware/factory reset afterwards by
- pushing the D/V or Enter button while powering-on the modem)
- The advantage of the new firmware is Fax Class 1 for "faxing a file"
- with the MS At-Work-Fax which is included in Windows95 or WfW.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Please copy this new "MDMZYXEL.INF" (internal rev. 29, 01/23/96) into your
- "\WINDOWS\INF\" directory and overwrite your old file. Then install your
- ZyXEL U-1496xx modem entries once again - the Windows95 registry will be
- updated automatically.
-
-
- PS: this MDMZYXEL.INF is still a betatest which has not yet been
- approved by Microsoft. Because of this betatest status there
- are some special debug informations included in the INF file
- itself, especially for the fax receiving. Therefor I added
- also Microsoft's "AWCMFG32.DLL" which should be copied to your
- "\WINDOWS\SYTEM" directory. This file will create a special
- logfile "FAX0.MON" on C:\. If you have any problems in
- receiving faxes with "At Work Fax" you can view & store or print
- this compressed logfile by using following "mouse click path":
- "MS Exchange & Inbox Settings Properties / Microsoft Fax Properties /
- Modem Properties / Advanced / View Log..."
-
- Any bugreports or suggestions for new modifications are welcome !
