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 1.9 is 32 bit "thunking" to use new functions in Win95: TD/RD detection, System Tray modem icon for all programs. Some new log functions + activity logging have also been added. The dialogs have been changed and appear differently when running Win3 or Win95. Ctld3d.dll is not needed in Win95 anymore. The advanced comm functions when running ModemSta in Win3 still needs to be implemented in 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. ======================================================================== New in v1.9: 16/32 bit 32 bit thunking to use new functions in Win95: TD/RD detection, System Tray modem icon for all programs.
