free USB evaluation utility is available from the Shopping Bag page
at http://www.usb.org. Just download the utility (287K) and run the
.exe application. It will determine if you have USB support.
Note: Dialog boxes for the Windows 95 installation are not shown

being used.

Step 3: Installing Data Communications Software
Data communications software is designed to send and receive messages
about the operation of your modem. Multi-Tech includes PhoneTools
communications software with your modem. However, the modem will
work with most data communications software packages. To install
PhoneTools, insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive and click on
the PhoneTools icon. You will be asked to choose your language. The
software will be loaded automatically onto your PC.

match the defaults of the country in which you are using it. You can
configure the MT5634MU either manually using AT commands (see User
Guide), or with the Global Wizard, as described below.
The Global Wizard configuration utility is recommended for computers
running Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP. The Global Wizard can configure
your modem for a specific country with just a few mouse clicks.
