- MODEMSTA: Modem status iconic indicator for Windows using 3D animated icon.
-
- If You have an internal modem, an external modem out-of-sight of Your computer
- or a PCMCIA modem, this is the program for You!
-
- ModemSta, the MODEM STATUS ICONIC INDICATOR, will help You operating Your modem
- by showing a small animated icon replica or indicator display window (several
- formats available) of a typical modem's front panel.
-
- A number of handy functions has also been added such as modem initialization,
- logging of incoming calls and connections, additional status info, summary of
- all communications settings in DOS and Windows, generation of sound in parallel
- to or instead of the telephone's ring signal and at line connection events.
- The status and activity of the parallel ports in Your system can also be
- monitored.
-
-
- New in version 1.8 is a SPY function, which makes it possible to detect the
- CONNECT STRING (to show actual data connection speed, error and compression
- protocols), calculate the actual TD/RD speed, the total number of transmitted
- bytes and log dialed telephone numbers to the connect log (in Win95, this works
- for 16 bit communication programs only). ModemSta has also been updated for Win95.
-
- ========================================================================
- INSTALLATION:
-
- ModemSta files are installed using the Windows-hosted installation program.
- ModemSta requires Windows 3.1 or higher.
-
- If you received ModemSta as an archived (.ZIP) file, unarchive it into a
- temporary directory. From Windows, run SETUP.EXE to perform the installation.
-
- If you received ModemSta on a diskette, simply run SETUP.EXE located on
- the diskette from within Windows.
-
- SETUP.EXE will copy ModemSta's files to a directory of Your choice. No
- changes are made to win.ini, system.ini, autoexec.bat etc.
-
- SETUP.EXE will also copy CTL3D.DLL to the Windows system directory
- (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM), but will not overwrite a newer version.
-
- A Program Manager Group will also be created if You select so.
-
- You can also manually install the files by copying them to a directory and
- create icons in the Program Manager. Also copy CTL3D.DLL to the Windows system
- directory, but do not overwrite a newer version if one is already installed.
-
-
- You can read more about the program and its settings in the HELP file!
-
- ========================================================================
- Uninstall: Delete the ModemSta files in the directory You installed them and
- delete MODEMSTA.INI in the Windows directory.
