When you have attached the modem to the computer, you can
install the GSM modem driver on your computer's operating system.
Professional,
high quality modems allow a simple installation of the modem driver.
For the Wavecom modem, for instance, a Standard 56000 modem driver can be
installed. If you have a different sort of modem, the steps described below will
be more complicated. Then you will have to select the driver provided
by the manufacturer of the mobile phone or data cable when selecting
the driver during the installation procedure.
Select Start Menu / Settings / Control Panel /
