Windows 95 introduced TAPI for modem handling. TERM for Windows 7.2 and TinyTERM 3.3 can use TAPI, but will sometimes give errors instead of connecting normally. In those cases, it’s possible to turn off TAPI handling, allowing TinyTERM to use the modem as though it were on Windows 3.1 instead.

Locate the file WTERMUS.CMD in the TinyTERM directory. Open it in Notepad or another text editor. Search it for every instance of the line:

setvar t_tapi true

Change “true” to “false” for every instance. TinyTERM will no longer recognize TAPI, which will allow it to handle the modem directly instead.
