Installing the Courier
What You Need
A Computer or Terminal with a Serial Port
The Courier is compatible with any computer or terminal that
provides a serial port with an EIA-232 interface. See Appendix
A, The Serial Port, for details.
For top performance, your serial port must support speeds of
115.2 Kbps. For IBM-compatible PCs, make sure your computer
has a 16C550 UART. Check your computer’s documentation for
details.
An Analog Telephone Line
The Courier requires a standard, analog telephone line. Do not
connect the Courier to a digital telephone line. Digital lines are
commonly used in office buildings and hotels. If you are unsure
whether your line is analog or digital, ask a network
administrator or your local telephone company.
Communications Software
You must configure and run a communications software
package in order to make the Courier work. The Courier is
shipped with a DOS/Windows communications software
package.
