Do the modem drivers need to be installed for Sandtrap to work?

No. Sandtrap uses the low-level COM port drivers instead of Microsoft’s TAPI. For Sandtrap to operate properly, you must configure your system’s Device Manager so that the modems are visible via the “Ports (COM and LPT)” setting. Back to top Q: Will HTML Help run if the computer running Sandtrap does not have Internet Explorer installed? Probably yes, if you run hhupd.exe in the top level Sandtrap directory. Note, however, that having IE installed on a computer does not mean that you have to use IE at all; you can keep running your preferred web browser. Back to top Q: Can I use Sandtrap with software that controls my PC remotely? Sandstorm has performed some testing with Sandtrap and PCAnywhere and NetOp, but cannot guarantee 100% compatibility. Check that the remote software loads and operates properly on its own before attempting to use Sandtrap over it. NOTE: Sandtrap won’t share a modem with a remote control program; you must shut one down before using the other.
