Readme for Compaqnt.zip

Compaq does not support NT on Presario models. Due the the unique/proprietary nature
of the Compaq-supplied LT modem, it takes a 'special effort' to get it to work with
NT4.  NOTE: This is NOT supported by Compaq!

What you need to do: Unzip the modem553.exe self-extracting file available from this 
site to a folder.  Unzip the compaqnt.zip file to the SAME folder. There will be a
warning since 1 of the files (SETUP.INI) will already exist. OVERWRITE it.

This is your modified install/firmware set for NT, and you can run setup.exe on your
COMPAQ w/ LT Modem. If the modem is already installed, run it once to remove the modem;
reboot; run it again to install the modem.

The zip files contains the following 7 files:

LTDF-1.INF
LTDF-1I.INF
LTDF-2.INF
LTDF-2I.INF
LTHOMOL.EXE
LTHOMOL.INI
SETUP.INI


NOTE: Depending upon what else is in the PC, it may be necessary to edit the modem
.inf file to force a specific COM port.

These files added to the 'generic' Lucent package will: create a COM port, and create
and start an NT service.

NOTE NOTE NOTE - This is 'unsupported' by Compaq - of course, they don't support NT4
at all for your Presario, so if you're running NT, you should know enough to try this
out - AT YOUR OWN RISK!
