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 1.8 is a SPY function, which makes it possible to detect the 
CONNECT STRING (to show actual data connection speed, error and compression 
protocols), calculate the actual TD/RD speed, the total number of transmitted
bytes and log dialed telephone numbers to the connect log (in Win95, this works 
for 16 bit communication programs only). ModemSta has also been updated for 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.
