computer, and make sure Windows 2000 finds the drivers by eventually
browsing through the directory structure of the CD.

for the PCI card, Windows 2000 will detect and install software for
each COM port on the card.

Control Panel, you will see the Icon of Decision PCCOM Adapters, indicating
that the driver has been successfully installed.
