Errors When Installing Your VoiceView Modem:

If you receive an error when installing your modem indicating that any of the
following Microsoft File Transfer files cannot be found:

    FileXfer.exe
    FileXfer.hlp
    FileXfer.cnt
    Fte.dll
    Wsvv.vxd
    VVExe32.exe

follow the instructions under the Installation section of this document.

Microsoft File Transfer is not Installed:

Microsoft File Transfer (filexfer.exe) may not always be installed when a
VoiceView capable modem is installed. If Microsoft File Transfer is not
installed, you may be able to configure your modem as a generic VoiceView modem
so that you can use File Transfer.

If Microsoft File Transfer is not installed on your computer, first consult your
modem documentation or contact your hardware vendor to make sure that your modem
is VoiceView capable. Then, install File Transfer by following the steps under
Configuring Your Modem as a Generic VoiceView modem.

INSTALLATION
------------

Installing Your VoiceView Modem:

Install your modem through the Control Panel, Modems applet. If you need
additional assistance with installing your modem under Windows 95, search on the
word "modem" in Windows 95 help.

When files are being copied, a VoiceView modem will require the File Transfer
files. When you are prompted for a path to these "missing" files, type in
"C:\VVSetup". The files will be found, and the installation will finish.

determine if Microsoft File Transfer is installed on your machine:
