This is the way I set up the Everex Everfax 24/96
FAX / Data Modem with EFAX3 DOS based FAX software for
Windows 3 Enhanced mode operation on a Wyse 3216 (16 Mhz,
386 machine).

FAXENGIN.PIF sets the VM attributes and starts the batch 
file call FAX3.BAT

FAX3.BAT logs the hard disk drive that contains the EFAX3 
software, changes to the EFAX3 sub-directory, loads the 
EFAX3 fax engine software, and then loads the EFAX3 
application software.

I usually run everything in a DOS box or iconized, until I 
want to view a FAX.  When I want to view a FAX, I switch 
to full screen with ALT-Enter.

The faxengine software requires access to the 16550 UART
which TurboCom provides.  I have set my minimium timeslice
(in the Windows Control Panel 386Enhanced section) set to 
10 millisecond, and COMBoostTime (in the SYSTEM.INI file) 
set to 4 or 5.

Make sure you do not have any VMs set to EXCLUSIVE, as this 
will stop the faxengine's VM whenever the "EXCLUSIVE" VM 
has the input focus (even if the other VMs have BACKGROUND
set).
