Overview
The main purpose of Duax Pro
is to sound an audible alarm whenever a dial-up Internet connection is established or broken. It is especially useful if you have more than one computer connected in a local area network and sharing a single modem. Without an audible alarm one of the computers (the ones without the modem) might establish unintentional and unnoticed modem connections.

Installation and use
Installation is automatic: just double click the file Setup.exe. However, for the program to start automatically each time you boot your computer, you should put a
shortcut to it in your Startup group.
Uninstall by clicking the Uninstall icon in the Duax Pro
program group or using the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the Control Panel.
When Duax Pro
is running it will automatically start up whenever a modem connection to the Internet is established and it will audibly and visually inform you about it. These connections can be initiated from the Duax Pro connection list or by any other application running on the same or on a networked computer sharing the modem of the system where
Duax Pro is installed.
Clicking on the "Hide" button minimizes the application and a flashing telephone will then be visible in the system tray as long as the
modem is online. Optionally, the "Online" and "Maximum" sounds will be heard if appropriate.
Clicking on the phone icon in the system tray restores the application to its normal size.
Requirements
Windows 9x or higher, dial-up modem, Internet connection, soundcard.
