Before You Install The Intel® Pcmcia Faxmodem

Determine whether you're using Release 2 or Release 3 of the Intel Card Manager Software.

The Release 2 package:
Has a plastic "bubble pack" for the faxmodem card Is shipped with Intel FAXability and HyperAccess Lite software.

The Release 3 package:
Has a flat front with a picture of the faxmodem card Is shipped with WinFax Lite and HyperAccess Lite software OR Delrina 4-in-1.

Intel tested the ABC* BiCOM B260i system and found it NOT COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA faxmodems and Card Manager software because the I/O controller for the PCMCIA socket is not compatible with Card Manager software.

Intel tested the AcerNote* 750 system and found it COMPATIBLE with PCMCIA Faxmodems.

This system uses SystemSoft's PCMCIA software to configure PCMCIA cards. The Intel Faxmodem for PCMCIA requires SystemSoft's Socket Services and Card Services to operate on this system. All SystemSoft PCMCIA software that comes with this system is PCMCIA 2.0-compliant.

PCMCIA Faxmodems can use these settings:

UPPER MEMORY: a block within the range C000-DFFF (This range available to PCMCIA device drivers and EMS providers).

IRQs: 3, 5, 10, 11, 12, or 15.

I/O PORTS: An 8-byte I/O address block within the ranges 200-23Fh or 300-36Fh.

ACCESSING BIOS SETUP: Press [Ctrl], [Alt], and [Esc] at the same time.

Intel tested the ACER AnyWare* V386SL system and found it COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodem products and Card Manager software.

Intel tested the AMS Travel Probe 5300 and 7500C systems and found them HARDWARE COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems Release 3.

This system's internal PCMCIA controller chip does not support the Intel Card Manager software, and therefore:

• Intel recommends not removing or re-inserting the PCMCIA faxmodem while the computer is turned on.
  
  
• The fax and data communications applications shipped with the Intel faxmodem don't work on these systems.
  
  
• Many popular communications and fax applications work with the faxmodem, provided the Intel Faxmodem is in the PCMCIA slot at power-up, the system recognizes it, and you don't expect to remove the faxmodem with the power on.

If you need assistance in configuring the Intel Faxmodem for PCMCIA on this system, consult the documentation for your system.
