AlphaStation FaxModem

This booklet details the tasks required to install and configure a FaxModem on AlphaStation (200, 250, 400, 600) and AlphaServer (1000) systems. It covers the following key areas:

• System Configuration: Procedures for identifying and resolving IRQ and I/O base address conflicts using the firmware configuration database. It provides methods for adding the FaxModem via scripts, a forms-based interface, or command-line tools.
• ISA vs EISA: Guidance on managing resource conflicts for both ISA-based AlphaStations and EISA-based systems using the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU).
• Operating System Integration: Specific steps for modifying OpenVMS systems (editing the ISA_CONFIG.DAT file) and Digital UNIX systems (rebuilding the kernel) to recognize the new hardware.
