Installing hardware in DOS 6.21

(1/2) > >>

dbriii:
I'm a newbie when it comes to DOS.  I've configured a Dell Dimension T500 to dual-boot WinXP and Dos 6.21.  I would like to install a modem.  WinXP finds and installs it no problem.  But I'd also like to use it when I boot to DOS.  If I find the DOS drivers, what's the easiest way to get DOS to find and use the modem.  It's a USRobotics ISA 16 bit 56K modem.

Thanks,

dbriii

If you have time I would truly be interested in your advise on how to install DOS 6.22 with my XP. Please feel free to e-mail me or post another message.

You don't need any drivers, unless it's a WinModem.  What exact model of USR modem is it.

Don't expect this to be easy.  If it were, we would all still be using DOS.
You will have to create a config.sys file.  Read about it here:  http://www.computerhope.com/ac.htm

johnwill:
In plain DOS applications, the application configures the modems, there are no DOS drivers in CONFIG.SYS, or anywhere else.
