The init strings and drivers page lists many Windows 95/98 .inf files, but not many init strings. The good news is that you can easily extract the init string from the .inf file. Even better news: you can do it from Windows 3.1, Macintosh, OS/2, Linux, or any other operating system. .inf files are just text files. They can be opened in any text editor or word processor. In the instructions, I'll use Windows NotePad for the example, but the same general principles apply with any text editor on any word processor. Instructions 1. Download the .inf file for your modem. Decompress, if necessary. (Note to Mac users: you can decompress .zip and .exe files using Aladdin's StuffIt Expander and DropStuff with Expander Enhancer.) 2. Launch NotePad. Windows 3.x users will find it in the Program Manager's Accessories group. Windows 95/98 users will find it in Start->Programs->Accessories. 3. Choose Open from NotePad's File menu. Navigate to where ever the .inf file is. 4. Set the File Types to "All Files." You should now be able to see the .inf file. Select it and click the Open button. 5. Now the file is open and you can begin looking for the init string. It should be on a line that begins "HKR, Init, 2,,". (You may want to search for "init".) HKR, Init, 2,, "AT &F2 &D2 &C1 E0 V1 Q0 S95=47 S0=0<cr>" The last line above contains the init string inside quotation marks. Note that the "<cr>" is not part of the init string. It is an end-of-string character. The init string in this example is: AT &F2 &D2 &C1 E0 V1 Q0 S95=47 S0=0 5. Copy and paste the init string into your software program and close the .inf file without saving any changes.
