For example, Windows includes Terminal, a minimally equipped communications program. Because Terminal supports serial port rates of up to only 19200, Quick Link II Fax is used in this example. 1 2 Install and then start Quick Link.

As a Client If you want only to dial out using the Courier, Windows NT works very much like Windows 3. x. Windows NT ships with a built-in Terminal program that can support speeds of up to 115. 2 Kbps. Additionally, Windows NT includes a Remote Access Dialer, but it is not installed by default. You can install Quick Link II in Windows NT but you may experience problems with fax operations. As a Server Here's how to set up Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) to recognize the Courier. First, you must install RAS, which is included with Windows NT, but is not installed by default.
