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.

========================================================================
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 try to copy CTL3D.DLL to the Windows system directory 
(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). If a newer copy of CTL3D.DLL is found, a warning 
is given and copying can be interrupted. The copy in this library of 
CTL3D.DLL is from 94-03-01. 

A Program Manager Group will also be created if You select so.

You can read more about the program and its settings in the HELP file!


========================================================================
Uninstall: Delete MODEMSTA.* in the directory You installed them and 
delete MODEMSTA.INI in the Windows directory.
