    		 Advantage! 4075P Modem Not Found by CompuServe

    This is an informational bulletin.

    The CompuServe software default may send an error message to the
    Advantage! 4075P system indicating that there is no modem present.

    AST addendum part number 003439-001, "Ensuring Correct Modem
    Operation", states the following:

         The modem that came with your AST Advantage! computer is preset at
         the factory to use COM port 2 with a baud rate of 14400.

         Communications applications and on-line services like CompuServe may
         have default settings for a different COM port and baud rate.

         When you install a communications application or sign up for an on-line
         service, make sure the COM port is set to COM2 and the baud rate is set
         for 14400.
