Click
on Start, Control Panel, then Phone & Modem Options
& select the Advanced tab.
Similar
to the Networking tab for your Internet Connection you should Remove all
unnecessary components from here as well. Use the Add button to restore
an uninstalled telephony provider should it be required in the future.
Now
select the Modems tab, then select a listed Modem & hit the Properties
button (If you have multiple Modems installed then you’ll need to repeat these
steps on each device). Now select the Modem tab.
Speaker
volume. Adjust
this as you feel necessary. There’s no need to make any adjustments if you
previously Unticked Enable modem speaker.
Maximum
port speed.
This setting specifies the maximum Port speed that can be used with the
installed Modem. Similar to before users of 33.6K Modems should set this to 56700,
while 56K Modem users should select 115200. Those with some other Modems
may wish to use higher values though it’s unlikely your Modem will
support it, e.g. the later revision of the Courier V. Everything Modem supports
a 230400 Port speed.
Dial
Control. Leave
this setting Ticked unless you have to use an unusual way to dial-up your
connection (Or the modem can’t acknowledge the dial tone for some reason).
