Chapter 2:  DOS / Windows 3.x Installation 
 
 
Two configuration software programs are provided with the 
232PCC2: a Client Driver, DSP100CL.SYS, and a card Enabler, 
DSP100EN.EXE.  Both of these programs are executed from DOS 
(before entering Windows) and allow operation of the 232PCC2 in 
both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments.  For optimal 
operation, however, the Client Driver is the preferred method of 
installation and configuration.  The table below highlights the 
differences between these programs.

Card and Socket Services software is commercially available 
from several vendors for most desktop and laptop PCs.  If you are 
unsure whether Card and Socket Services software is currently 
installed on your system, install the 232PCC2 Client Driver as 
discussed in following section.  When loaded, the Client Driver will 
display an error message if Card and Socket Services software is 
not detected.
