About the Software
The 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card, in addition to its
drivers, requires two different kinds of software in order
to work:
• PCMCIA card and socket services, and
• communication software
PCMCIA card and socket services are special software
drivers that allow a PCMCIA card to communicate with
your computer's PCMCIA slot. Hopefully your comput-
er came with services pre-installed by the PC's manu-
facturer that will allow your computer to run with a
wide range of PCMCIA cards. The 10/100 + 56K
Modem PC Card was designed as a "generic" LAN and
modem card that should run right out of the box with
most services. Popular services include SystemSoft's
CardSoft and CardWizard, Phoenix's PCM+, and
CardWare.
If your computer doesn't have PCMCIA services, or if
you're not sure how to get yours working, the 10/100 +
56K Modem PC Card comes with generic services you
can use to get the card up and running in your comput-
er's PCMCIA slot. In order to use the services you'll
need to edit your computer's startup files. You'll find
additional instructions on using PCMCIA services in
the next chapter.
Communication software allows the 10/100 + 56K
Modem PC Card to dial out from your computer over
telephone lines, connect to on-line services, tap into the
Internet, surf the web, download files, send and receive
faxes, and much more.
There are many different ways you can obtain
communication software for the 10/100 +56K Modem
PC Card.
