BEFORE ALL ELSE:
    We are working full time on improving and upgrading FaxMail for Windows.
    So...before you install, look at the date on the files inside of the the
    ZIPed file.  If the date is more than a week old, you may want to call
    and get the latest version.  We release minor versions about once a week
    and major versions when appropriate.  To get the latest version of
    FaxMail for Windows, call 1-713-261-0307 and we will give you
    instructions as to how and where you can download if.

LEGAL INFORMATION:
    FaxMail for Windows is shareware.  This means you have a chance to
    test the performance FaxMail for Windows before committing yourself
    to buying it.  You have a one month legal trial.  After one month you
    must pay for FaxMail for Windows or discontinue its use.

    Only the unregistered version of FaxMail for Windows may be distributed
    freely, and no fee may be charged for it except a nominal copying fee.
    All trademarks contained herein are registered to their respective
    owners.

    If you have a registered version of FaxMail for Windows you may NOT
    share it with others.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
    If you are currently using another Fax-Program, you will have to disable
    or remove it before using FaxMail for Windows as two Fax-Programs can
    not share the same Fax/Modem or run concurrently.  To disable a
    Fax-Program you may have to remove one or more lines from your
    AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS.  Typing rem ahead of a line in your
    AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS will disable it.  The only exception is; if
    you are using an Intel SatisFAXtion CAS Fax/Modem, you will not want to
    remove the CAS manager.  ALL other (Class 1 and Class 2) Fax/Modems will
    use the Fax/Modem-Drivers provided by FaxMail for Windows.

    Since not all of the brands and models of Fax/Modem on the market have
    the same capabilities, and since the developer of FaxMail for Windows
    did not have a modem of each and every model available to test
    the software with, it is inevitable that some modems will not operate
    properly with this software.  Models for which there were known 
    compatibility problems that had not been resolved as of this release
    are listed at the end of this file; if you have one of these, you
    might want to try it anyway since there's a possibility that yours
    might work.  The worst that can be expected to happen is that the
    Fax/Modem-Driver might not load or the program might hang or fail to
    operate, and perhaps your modem might be left in Fax mode and require
    manual resetting(turn it off and back on).  Since information about
    models that don't work with this program will aid in correcting
    unsuspected problems, we would appreciate any information you can give
    us about them.  Write to the registration address below, or send e-mail
    via Internet to:

  Jon.Krahmer@f10000.n106.z1.fidonet.org

    or FidoNet to:

    with details.

    This program modifies the WIN.INI file to add the FaxMail for Windows
    Print-to-Fax, and it adds a Windows-to-DOS-Interface and a
    Fax/Modem-Driver to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, if needed, depending on the
    type of Fax/Modem you have.  FaxMail for Windows also puts the driver
    "FM_PN_DX.DRV" in your Windows system directory
    { ?:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM_PN_DX.DRV }.  The Fax/Modem-Driver, as currently
    written, does not provide a way to remove itself from memory but it can
    be Disabled/Enabled.  More details are given below in the section on
    HELPFUL HINTS.

FAX/MODEM INSTALLATION:
definitions:
COM, Communications-Port (a total of 4).
IRQ, Interrupt-Request (a total of 8).

External Fax/Modem:
Plug one end of the COM cable into your Fax/Modem and the other end into a
vacant COM-Port.  You will have to know what COM-Port and what IRQ you
plugged into so you can let the software know during software installation.

Internal Fax/Modem:
These instructions assume that the Fax/Modem is not in your computer.  If it
is in your computer, remove it now.  Do not type any comments that are to
the right of the {.

Go to the DOS-Prompt and type:

CD\               {go to the root directory
DEBUG             {or \DOS\DEBUG
-D 0040:0000      {the - prompt will be there
                  {something similar to the following should appear

We are only concerned with the first 8 BYTEs (4 WORDs).

           3F8   2F8   000   000         {formated to human terms

The above tells me that hardware for COM1 and COM2 is installed in the
computer as follows:
 COM1-IRQ4
 COM2-IRQ3
 COM3, Not installed
 COM4, Not installed



Configure your Fax/Modem for COM3-IRQ4 if you are not using COM1-IRQ4 for
a mouse of anything.  If you are using IRQ4 with COM1 or for any other
purpose you will have to find another IRQ for COM3.  Here are some
suggestions.
 COM3-IRQ2
 COM3-IRQ5
 COM3-IRQ7
If we would have found COM2 unused we would have used it as: COM2-IRQ3.
Here is a list of valid combinations:
 COM1-IRQ4
 COM2-IRQ3
 COM3-IRQ4
 COM4-IRQ3
 COM1-IRQ2
 COM1-IRQ5
 COM1-IRQ7
 COM2-IRQ2
 COM2-IRQ5
 COM2-IRQ7
 COM3-IRQ2
 COM3-IRQ5
 COM3-IRQ7
 COM4-IRQ2
 COM4-IRQ5
 COM4-IRQ7

Never skip a COM-Port as the system will go into "conflict-convulsion" from
time to time.  To find a vacant IRQ, run something like SYSONFO.EXE, etc.
There are only 8 IRQs in the IBM-Compatible.  They are: IRQ0 - IRQ8.  N/A
means not available for your Fax/Modem.
IRQ0  {INT 08h, Reserved for 8253 Channel 0 System-Timer-Tick, N/A
IRQ1  {INT 09h, Reserved for Key-Board Attention, N/A
IRQ2  {INT 0Ah, Reserved for Future use, (you can use if not in use)
IRQ3  {INT 0Bh, Reserved for COM2-IRQ3, or COM4-IRQ3 *If not used by COM2
IRQ4  {INT 0Ch, Reserved for COM1-IRQ4, or COM3-IRQ4 *If not used by COM1
IRQ5  {INT 0Dh, Reserved for XT-HardDrive, Can used unless you have an XT :)
IRQ6  {INT 0Eh, Reserved for Disk Attention, N/A
IRQ7  {INT 0Fh, LPT, but LPT usually doesn't need IRQ, usually can be used

As you can see, if IRQ4 is used by COM1 you have to find another IRQ for
COM3.  If you have a MOUSE on COM1-IRQ4 and you use COM3 you will need to
use one of the alternative IRQ.  The same goes if you are going to use COM4
and you have a MOUSE on COM2-IRQ3.

BEFORE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
If, while installing FaxMail for Windows you find that your Fax/Modem is not
listed, it is possible that one of the selections will work.  For instance,
DoveFax Class 1 and Practical Peripherals Class 1 works with many other
class 1 Fax/Modems.  The {"Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem,
Class 2"} will work with nearly all of the Fax/Modems derived from the
"Rockwell Class 2 Accelerator Kit".  Generic Class 2, Zoom Class 2, ZyXEL
Class 2, and Dallas Class 2 Fax/Modem-Drivers are all Class 2
Fax/Modem-Drivers.  There are a lot of "Class 2" variations, so, if your
"Class 2" board does not work with one, it may work with another.  The
   "Universal, Hayes, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1",
   "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1",  and the
   "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 2"
Fax/Modem-Drivers are designed to do the job if all else fails.  It should
not always be the first choice because even though it is more versatile, it
may not perform as well as the one recommended by us.  Depending on your
computer, another Fax/Modem-Driver may work better than our recommended one
though.  Sometimes, depending on your computer, COM-Port (FIFO(16550) or
not), the
       "Universal, Hayes, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1",
       "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1",
              - or -
       "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 2"
may outperform the recommended Fax/Modem-Driver.  BTW, these 2 drivers
support FIFO operation.

If your Fax/Modem is not listed, look for an alternate Fax/Modem-Driver.  An
Internal Fax/Modem-Driver can be used to drive an External Fax/Modem, and an
External Fax/Modem-Driver can be used to drive an Internal Fax/Modem.  The
name is not important.  For instance, the AT&T class 1 will work on many
other class 1 Fax/Modems.  Choosing the wrong Fax/Modem-Driver will not harm
Anything.

  The files in this package are modified to your specifications during
  installation and *WILL NOT* work properly if simply copied into your 
  working directory.  You *MUST* use the INSTALL.EXE or configuration 
  utilities to add or change anything.

"FaxMail for Windows" and "FaxMail for DOS" are compatible with one another
so you can alternate between them.  You can do a delayed send from Windows,
drop to DOS and the send will take place on schedule.  You can go into
"FaxMail for DOS" and watch events from its Event Monitor even though the
events were initiated from Windows.  The same is true if the events were
initiated with "FaxMail for DOS" and you go to Windows and use the FaxMail
for Windows Event Monitor.  You can deal interactively between DOS and
Windows.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
Make a directory called TEMP.  Like this:
CD \
MD TEMP
CD TEMP

UnZIP(PKUNZIP.EXE Version 2.04g or higher) FAX-V???.ZIP into TEMP directory.

Go into MS-Windows 3.1 or above and run the FaxMail for Windows INSTALL.EXE
using the Windows NEW command or Windows RUN command.



AFTER SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
If you choose a full installation, you will have several icons in the
FaxMail for Windows Group.  One of the icons is "Read Me" and another is
"FaxMail Tutor".  These should be read before using FaxMail for Windows.
There is also help buttons throughout for your convenience.

Everything is explained thoroughly in the FaxMail for Windows help system,
which may be called upon from anywhere in FaxMail for Windows.

If you want to use FaxMail for Windows from within any Windows Application
and/or take advantage of *ALL* the power FaxMail for Windows has, load the
"Control" program that you will find in the FaxMail for Windows Group before
loading any other Windows Applications.

After the Control program is loaded, click on the System button and choose
SETUP and configure things *YOUR WAY*.  I suggest that if you are not sure
of something, leave the defaults set as it came to you.  Make a printout of
the defaults in case you change something you do not understand yet.


HELPFUL HINTS:
                        "Silent Answer"
Silent Answer requires the support and cooperation of the remote sending
Fax/Modem/Machine with your receiving Fax/Modem.  If the sending
Fax/Modem/Machine does not support "Silent Answer" by sending the "CNG"
tone, you will lose that Fax!  Please read *all* of this area before using
"Silent Answer".  If you still want "Silent Answer", here is what it does
and how to implement it.

    Silent answer let one telephone line be used for two purposes;
    receiving FAXes with the Fax/Modem, and receiving voice calls with
    an answering machine or telephone.  When set to this mode, the
    Fax/Modem lets your answering machine answer all incoming calls.
    If it detects Fax "CNG" tones, it routes the call to FaxMail for
    Windows.  Otherwise, it just sits silently on the phone line while
    you or your answering machine takes the call.

    When the phone rings and after the second ring the Fax/Modem will
    start monitoring the telephone line.  If it detects a Fax tone, it
    will receive the Fax.  If it does not detects a fax tone, it will do
    nothing.



Silent Answer hardware installation
    When installing the Fax/Modem, DO NOT plug the answering machine into
    the telephone jack on the back of the Fax/Modem.  Instead, do one of
    the following:
	 
      a. Plug the answering machine and Fax/Modem into different wall jack
	 (i.e. jacks in different rooms).
	 
      b. Plug the answering machine into a wall jack and the Fax/Modem into
	 the answering machine.
	 
      c. If your answering machine has some kind of phone-jack switching;
         use this method. You must locate the two devices on separate
         extensions to make silent answer work correctly.  This means you
         can not plug the answering machine into the Fax/Modem or vise
         versa.  You can split a single extension with a duplex jack
         adapter.  Radio Shack commonly carries these, part number 279-357
         for $4.49.

    Also, if you have an older answering machine that does NOT
    automatically turn itself off when it detects that a person or the
    Fax/Modem has answered the call, you need a $7.95 adapter from from
    Radio Shack, part#43-107.  This adapter disconnects the answering
    machine from the phone line when the call is answered.  It goes
    between the answering machine and the wall jack.

    Note: The device that is picking up the line initially, must answer
          after, and not before, the second ring.  This means you should
          set it to 3 for best results.  If no other device picks up the
          line by the time the number of rings that FaxMail for Windows
          is set to is reached, FaxMail for Windows will answer it and
          process a Fax.

To activate Silent Answer
    Load the FaxMail for Windows 'Control' program and click on the
    <System> Button, <Setup> Button and on the Silent Answer <Check>
    Button.  Set the number of rings until we answer to four and set
    your answering-machine to three rings.  If the Silent Answer
    <Check> Button is inactive and gray, your Fax/Modem does not
    support Silent Answer.



                     How to enable auto-load

When you boot-up, you have a choice as to weather you want to load the
FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver or not.  If you plan to always load the
FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver, you can place y or Y behind the
Fax/Modem-Driver.  Here are two examples:

examples #1 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
will ask:
Do you want to load the "FaxMail for Windows" Fax/Modem-Driver?  (Y/N) Y

examples #2 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM Y
The Y parameter will cause the Fax/Modem-Driver to load without asking.  It
will always load without stopping or asking.

                     BBS and FAX on the same computer

                            Method  - 1 -
Windows:
There is an ICON, FAX vs BBS, in the FaxMail for Windows Group for the
purpose of alowing you to control the Fax/Modem mode.

   -Before you call a BBS, double-click the <FAX vs BBS> ICON and chooes:
                     <Set Fax/Modem to BBS-Mode>.
   -Load your BBS-Software and log-onto the BBS.
   -After logging-off the BBS and exiting the BBS Software; to resume
    FAXing, double-click the <FAX vs BBS> ICON again and chooes:
                     <Set Fax/Modem to FAX-Mode> again.

DOS:
                            Method  - 2 -
Before you call a BBS, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:

C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM

Log-onto the BBS.

To resume FAXing, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:

C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM



                            Method  - 3 -
Note: In these example; do not type the comments that appear to the right of
the {.

If you want to use the same computer for Fax and data-modem(BBS), it may be
necessary to Disable the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver while calling
a BBS.  To Disable FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver run: BBS-MODE.COM.
Use FAX-MODE.COM to Enable the Fax/Modem-Driver again after you log-off the
BBS.  Here is an example of a Batch(.BAT) File that will do it all for you.
Lets say that you are using a BBS program called Telemate, and it's name is
TM.EXE.  The following Batch File will Disable the "Fax/Modem-Driver" load
"Telemate" and when you exit the BBS program (Telemate) it will "Enable"
the Fax/Modem-Driver so you can resume FAXing.  At the DOS Prompt:

COPY CON T.BAT <Enter>                              {Create file(T.BAT)
C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM <Enter>                     {1st line in file(T.BAT)
PAUSE <Enter>                                       {2nd line in file(T.BAT)
CD\TELEMATE <Enter>                                 {3rd line in file(T.BAT)
TM.EXE <Enter>                                      {4th line in file(T.BAT)
C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM <Control+Z(or F6)> <Enter>  {5th, and Save(T.BAT)

                             - or -
Using a text editor, create a file called T.BAT with the following 3 lines:

C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM  {Set Fax/Modem to Data-Mode(BBS)
PAUSE                    {Pause to let Fax/Modem catch up(4 seconds or more)
CD\TELEMATE              {Change Directory to BBS Software
TM.EXE                   {Load BBS Software
C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM  {Set Fax/Modem to Fax-Mode(FaxMail)

The above example assumes that your FaxMail Directory is FAXMAIL and your
Telemate Directory is TELEMATE.

Now when you want to call a BBS you type:

T <Enter>


                            Method  - 4 -
To remove FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver, type "rem " in front of
these two lines, in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

rem  C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
rem  C:\FAXMAIL\FM_DS_IN.COM

....and RE-BOOT.



To restore back to "FaxMail for Windows", reactivate the two lines, in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT:

C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_DS_IN.COM

....and RE-BOOT.

NOTE: If your Fax/Modem is a CAS (or CAS compatible) board, such as the
Intel SatisFAXtion, you might not have to remove the Fax/Modem-Driver for
data-modem(BBS) use.  If you hear the modem give a short beep tone after
dialing but before the line has been answered, your modem will probably not
operate properly for data communications with the Fax/Modem-Driver
installed.  In some cases, to reset your modem to data mode, you may have to
manually reset the modem (if it's external) or turn the PC off and then back
on (for internal modems that don't reset any other way).


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
                                    - 1 -
Q.  When I am booting and while my AUTOEXEC.BAT is loading I hear two BEEPs
    and the Fax/Modem-Driver and Windows to CAS Interface say they are not
    loaded.

A.  If your Fax/Modem is turned-off or hung, or the Fax/Modem-Driver you
    chose is not compatible with your Fax/Modem or computer, the
    Fax/Modem-Driver will make a BEEP and fail to load.

    When the Windows to CAS Interface(FM_DS_IN.COM) is loading it checks to
    be sure that the Fax/Modem-Driver is properly loaded.  If the
    Fax/Modem-Driver is not properly loaded, Windows to CAS Interface will
    make a BEEP and also fail to load.

                                    - 2 -
Q.  FaxMail for Windows does not run or does not run properly.

A.  If you are currently using another Fax-Program, you will have to disable
    or remove it before using FaxMail for Windows as two Fax-Programs can
    not share the same Fax/Modem or run concurrently.

                                    - 3 -
Q.  None of the Fax/Modem-Drivers work.

A.  Be sure you have the latest Version.  FaxMail for Windows is being
    updated continuously.  We may have a new Fax/Modem-Drivers that will
    work for you.  As of the time this was written there had been 33
    revisions, Versions V1.00(FAX-V100.ZIP) to V1.33(FAX-V133.ZIP).

                                    - 4 -
Q.  I set the sound/volume/retries but my Fax/Modem ignores my changes.

A.  (a) The DoveFax and some other Fax/Modem do not support volume and
        speaker manipulation.

    (b) If you have a CAS Fax/Modem you will have to use their SETUP program
        to set sound/volume/retries.

Q.  I did the INSTALL.EXE and re-booted, but the  Fax/Modem-Driver didn't
    even attempted to load from my AUTOEXEC.BAT.

A.  FaxMail for Windows put a Fax/Modem-Driver and a
    Windows-to-DOS-Interface in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.  Look in your
    AUTOEXEC.BAT and see if you have a menu or jump command ahead of the
    Fax/Modem-Driver and/or the Windows-to-DOS-Interface.  If so, move them
    to a place in your AUTOEXEC.BAT where they will load, preferably,
    first.  The Fax/Modem-Driver and a Windows-to-DOS-Interface look
    something like this:

C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_DS_IN.COM

                                    - 6 -
Q.  I removed or commented the Fax/Modem-Driver from my AUTOEXEC.BAT and
    now when I try to run ant Windows program that has a print-routine in
    it, I get a message saying:
      +----------------------------------------------------------------+
      | This Function requires a Fax/Modem-Driver and Windows to CAS   |
      | interface (FM_DS_IN.COM) to be loaded before entering Windows. |
      |                                                                |
      | 1. Did you re-boot after installing FaxMail for                |
      |    Windows?  If not, re-boot the computer now.                 |
      |                                                                |
      | 2. You may have to reinstall FaxMail for                       |
      |    Windows with a different Fax/Modem-Driver,                  |
      |    and re-boot.                                                |
      +----------------------------------------------------------------+

A.  If you had a power failure while in Windows or you crashed out of
    Windows while FaxMail for Windows was active, your
    Default-Printer-Driver may have been replaced with the FaxMail for
    Windows Fax-converter ("Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1").

Solution:
    Close the FaxMail for Windows "Control" Program.  Load the Windows
    Control Panel and select Printers and choose the Printer-Driver that
    you want as your Default-Printer-Driver.

Note:
    When you have the FaxMail for Windows Control loaded and the PRINTER OR
    FAX TOGGLE is toggled to FAX, Windows swaps from your Default-Printer-
    Driver to "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1".  When you toggle back to PRINTER
    or exit Windows, Windows swaps back to your Default-Printer-Driver.  If
    you crash out of Windows, Windows does not get a chance to swap back, so
    the next time you enter Windows it thinks that "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on
    LPT1" is your Default-Printer-Driver and when FaxMail for Windows makes
    it's swap it swaps "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1" for "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on
    LPT1".

Q.  I do not know what kind of Fax/Modem I have.  Who made my Fax/Modem?
Q.  I want to know more about my Fax/Modem.  Is it Class 1, Class 2, etc?

A.  Run: COMTEST1.COM and COMTEST2.COM.  They will tell you what CLASS, the
    Manufacturer, the Model number and much much more about your Fax/Modem.
    After running COMTEST1.COM and COMTEST2.COM, you may need to turn your
    Fax/Modem (computer if you have an internal Fax/Modem) off-on and reload
    your Fax-Software.  If you are using FaxMail for Windows COMTEST1.COM
    and COMTEST2.COM sends a signal to the FaxMail for Windows
    Fax/Modem-Driver asking it to re-initialize(reset) your Fax/Modem.

                                    - 8 -
Q.  I tried the Fax/Modem-Driver that was suggested for my Fax/Modem, but it
    did not work.

A1. Run: COMTEST2.COM.  Test the COM-Port and see if the Universal Class 2
    Fax/Modem-Driver will support your Fax/Modem.  COMTEST2 will create a
    written report in the form of a text file (FAXMODEM.TXT).  If the
    Universal Class 2 Fax/Modem-Driver will support your Fax/Modem, the
    written report will say:
This Fax/Modem supports Class 2, Fax Mode.
    and it will say:
The "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 2 -- FM_ROCK2.COM"
Fax/Modem-Driver should work with this Fax/Modem on this COM-IRQ.

A2. Run: COMTEST1.COM.  Test the COM-Port and see if the Universal Class 1
    Fax/Modem-Driver will support your Fax/Modem.  COMTEST1 will create a
    written report in the form of a text file (FAXMODEM.TXT).  If the
    Universal Class 1 Fax/Modem-Driver will support your Fax/Modem, the
    written report will say:
This Fax/Modem supports Class 1, Fax Mode.
    and it will say:
The "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM"
Fax/Modem-Driver should work with this Fax/Modem on this COM-IRQ.

Notes:
   *These two Universal Fax/Modem-Drivers are designed to overcome special
    Problems.

   *If you do not know what class your Fax/Modem is, run both COMTEST1 and
    COMTEST2, as your Fax/Modem can and often is both class 1 and class 2.

   *You should turn your Fax/Modem off-on just before each test.  In the
    case of an internal Fax/Modem, turn your computer off-on.

Q.  I called the ElectraSoft Fax phone number (1-713-499-5939) and it did
    not work.

A.  Call voice (1-713-261-0307) first to make sure that it is available.



                                    - 10 -
Q.  I am in Windows and I try to print but the FaxMail for Windows
    Fax/Modem Printer Driver(C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM_PN_DX.DRV) intercepts the
    print-job and wants to send it to a remote Fax-Machine.

A.  Click on the <System-Button> and then on the
    <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button.

Notes:
   *If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button has a check by it and it says
    "FAX IS ACTIVE", then the print-job will be printed on a remote
    Fax-Machine.  If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button is not checked and
    it says "PRINTER IS ACTIVE" the print-job will be printed on your
    default printer.

   *When you toggle the PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE, FaxMail for Windows swaps the
    Print-Priver found in your WIN.INI form your normal default to the
    'FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem Printer Driver(FM_PN_DX.DRV)' Print-Driver.
    So...If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button is set to the
    Fax/Modem Printer Driver ("FAX IS ACTIVE") mode and you re-boot with a
    (press <Alt+Ctrl+Del>), turn the power off-on or power failure, the
    Fax/Modem Printer Driver(FM_PN_DX.DRV) will be left in your WIN.INI file.  As a
    result, toggleing the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button will switching
    "back and forth" between the Fax/Modem Printer Driver and Fax/Modem Printer Driver
    Print-Driver and your actual default Print-Driver will be lost.

Solution:
    If, or when, this happens, you will have to:
    1.  Click on the <System-Button>
    2.  Click on the <QUIT> FaxMail for Windows button.
    3.  Load the Windows 'Control Panel' program.
    4.  Load the 'Printers' program.
    5.  Highlight your normal Printer-Driver.
    6.  Click on <Set As Default Printer>.
    7.  Click on <Close>.
    8.  Load the FaxMail for Windows 'Control' program to reload FaxMail for
        Windows back-ground operation again and all will be normal again.

                                    - 11 -
Q.  As I am using FaxMail for Windows, a message keeps popping up; asking
    me if I want to allow the system to write to FM_DS_IN.COM and the
    FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver which is also a ".COM" file.

A.  You have a Virus detection program.

Solution:
    Remove the "Virus detection" software from your AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or
    elsewhere.

Note:
    The FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver(FM_?????.COM) and Windows to
    DOS Interface(FM_DS_IN.COM) are both ".COM" files and contain an
    internal configuration that is written to during the course of each
    session to track the ever changing "dynamically-flowing" defaults to
    make it easier for you to operate.



                                    - 12 -
Q.  There is more than one copy of the FaxMail for Windows "Control" program
    in my Windows StartUp group.

A.  If you had to try more than one Fax/Modem-Driver during installation,
    You will have to click once on the extra FaxMail for Windows "Control"
    ICON, click on Files and then click on delete.

                                    - 13 -
Q.  I am prone to losing dialogue-boxes behind other boxes and windows.

A.  If you lose a dialogue-boxes while using FaxMail for Windows, simple
    reload from button or ICON.  Actually when you try to reload a lost
    dialogue-boxes, the new instance detects the old instance and sends a
    message to it that brings it to the top and then does not load itself.
    Because you get back the one you lost, you do not lose any of your work.

                                    - 14 -
Q.  I have pulse-dial-phone and can not get tone dial in my area.

A.  Click on the "SETUP" button and you can select "Pulse" or "Tone" under
    {Type of Phone Dial:}.

                                    - 15 -
Q.  I Viewed a Fax but when I tried to Print it the paper came out of my
    Printer blank.

A.  Be sure your printer is set to Portrait and *not* Landscape.

                                    - 16 -
Q.  When I use the FaxMail for Windows Cover-Page feature; How wide can I
    make it?  And; What about the left and right margins?

A.  No more than 72 characters wide.  You do not have to concern
    yourself with the left or right margin as there is a 3/8" left and
    right margin built into FaxMail for Windows NotePad for you.  This
    will permit compatibility on Fax Machines as well as Fax/Modem to
    Fax/Modem to Printer supports.

Note:
    Do *NOT* use the <Tab> in the a Cover-Page file (*.CVR).

                                    - 17 -
Q.  When building a Cover-Page; Where should I put the Logo?

A.  Go into the FaxMail for Windows NotePad and open a Cover-Page file
    (*.CVR) and put your cursor on the first line.  Select Fields and Logo.
    Be sure that the <Logo-Field> is on the first line in the Cover-Page
    file, by itself, with no other text on that line.  When the Send-Fax
    program processes the Cover-Page file, it will use the information on
    that line and then remove that line, so your second line will become

Q.  When I want to Fax, I have to go to the <System> button and toggle the
    <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> to FAX and when I want to Print to my default
    Printer, I have to toggle the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> to PRINTER.  Why
    couldn't that be done automatically?

A.  Some Windows applications get a HANDLE to the Printer-Device-Context
    upon entry and when you go to print, they use that HANDLE.  If we were
    to suddenly swap from the default Printer-Driver to the
    "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1" Driver, the current application would crash
    when it tried to use the obsolete HANDLE.

Note:
    FaxMail for Windows does send out a global message to all applications
    every time it swaps from the "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1" to your
    "Default-Printer-Driver" or back again, but not all applications pay
    attention to it, so you may have to toggle the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE>
    before loading these applications.

Q.  My Fax/Modem-Driver loads all right but when my Fax/Modem tries to
    answer an incoming call, it hangs up immediately.

A.  One thing that can cause this is if your Fax/Modem disconnects the Phone
    Jack after it answers and you are plugged into the Phone Jack instead of
    the Line (or Wall) Jack.

Q.  I went into a Windows application and tried to send a Fax using the
    FaxMail for Windows <SEND FROM WINDOWS> option, but the application just
    wants to print to my default printer.

A.  AMI Pro and some other Windows applications have their Printer-Driver
    information stored in an ?.INI file and are not willing to swap their
    Printer-Driver on the fly.

Solution:
    Before using the <SEND FROM WINDOWS> button, go to <Files>,
    <Printer Setup> and choose "Fax/Modem Printer Driver on LPT1" as your
    Printer-Driver.  Now the <SEND FROM WINDOWS> will work.

Q.  I chose
    "Universal, Hayes, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM"
    the first time I installed FaxMail for Windows and everything worked
    fine.  I noticed that when I chose "Hayes" that the INSTALL.EXE used
    FM_ROCK1.COM Fax/Modem-Driver.  Later, I installed FaxMail for Windows
    on another computer, it also had a Hayes.  This time I chose
    "Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM"
    because this selection uses the same FM_ROCK1.COM Fax/Modem-Driver but
    it would not work.

A.  When the Fax/Modem-Driver is being installed, it is modified by the
    INSTALL.EXE.  These modifications will differ from one manufacturer to
    the next.

Solution:
    Select the Fax/Modem-Driver by manufacturer rather than by name and be
    sure to use the INSTALL.EXE to install rather than coping the Drivers.
    If you copy the files onto your HardDrive, FaxMail for Windows will
    not work.


MODEMS WITH KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES:
    Supra FAX Modem/Plus:
    Some peoples have reported good service using the
    Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM
    and others like the
    Universal, Internal/External, Fax/Modem, Class 2 -- FM_ROCK2.COM

    - unknown -
    Please let me know if FaxMail for Windows does not work properly with
    your Fax/Modem.  The next version (revision) will probably include
    support for *YOUR* Fax/Modem.

OTHER PRODUCTS:
                       * 9 to 24 Pin Printer Translator *
    9 to 24 Pin Printer Translator lets you use your 24 pin printer with
    programs that do not support 24 pin printers.  Some 24 pin printers will
    print poor and/or stretched graphics if your program does not have a
    good Printer-Driver.  9 to 24 Pin Printer Translator will fix these
    problems.  It is loaded on the way into a printer program and removed
    on the way out.  Here is an example of how to use it in a Batch.BAT
    file:
C:\9TO24PIN\LQ.COM       }Load the 9 to 24 Pin Printer Translator.
PRNSHOP.EXE              }Run your print program.
C:\9TO24PIN\REMOVE.COM   }Remove 9 to 24 Pin Printer Translator.

                       * Snapshot Screen to Disk or printer *
    Lets you echo the screen output to a disk-file or to your printer.  It
    is useful to programmers because it can be used in conjunction with
    DEBUG.EXE to disassemble code for modification and re-assemble.  Is used
    sparingly and removed by rebooting when not in use.  Has a special mode
    for converting DEBUG.EXE output into Source-Code.
