- Utility to configure modem for different countries. On floppy disk that comes with the modem. You do need to configure the modem to suit your own country phone system. For example, it wouldn't work in Australia until I changed the initialisation string.
Compatibility
This modem will work with most PDAs and computers that have an IrDA port. I assume with computers, their IrDA must come with legacy IrCOMM support (so Win98 should be OK, NT and 2000 would not, XP maybe).
