Installing an external modem is relatively easy; you don't even have to open the case. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and a modem cable. Your modem may not come with a modem cable, so check the packaging.

1. Before changing anything, create a system disk. Get a formatted diskette and copy your AUTOEXEC.BATCONFIG.SYSWIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files to it. The modem installation will make changes to these files.
2. Turn off the computer. Take your modem cable, connect one end to the computer's port and the other to the back of the modem. Tighten the plugs in, usually by tightening the screws on either side of the connection. Make them snug, but don't strip the threads.
3. Now connect the modem to the phone cord to the wall. Plug this cord into the "line" jack on the modem. If you want to use a phone too, use the line that came with the modem and run it from the phone to the jack on the modem labeled "phone".
4. Now plug the modem in to the wall outlet.
5. Turn on the computer and the modem. If the lights on the modem are working, you are ready to install the software. If they are not working, double check all connections. If these are fine, you may have the wrong modem cable or a bad modem.
6. Install the software by following the on-screen commands. Choose a COM port that corresponds to the port you plugged your modem into. If your modem is plug-and-play compatible, the Windows 95 Installation Wizard will walk you through this.
