Opinion Dual Video Drivers Card, and Wide Screen Monitors are nicer, 2 monitors is real cool but not necessary. The bigger the better otherwise its smaller! :)

Serial ports and Modems
If you required PollStar, it reads data input flow using a dedicated serial port.

KisStar system requires 2 modems, one for the PageMaster paging application the other for Dialing out and faxing using efStar.

Installing modems, plug n plug assume to much, often selecting the wrong ports. Its important that all serial and modem devices be configured on different ports Irq's, etc.. not conflicting.

* Home Version

For a demo, or single operator workstation XP Home works.

The XP Home Edition has problems setting privileges in a network or inability to disable 'Simple File Sharing' required for multiple workstations sending Emails and Faxes to efStar. Setting exception work around does not work.
  • Simple File Sharing is enabled by default on Windows XP Professional systems that are members of a workgroup (typically used in small networks) rather than a domain (typically used in large corporate networks). For full details, see our article on Simple File Sharing. There are no passwords or access restrictions and, with one exception described in the article, everything that's shared is accessible by everyone on the network. Simple File Sharing is the only type of sharing available in Windows XP Home Edition.
  • By disabling Simple File Sharing, you can specify an Access Control List (ACL) for each shared disk or folder. Using an ACL gives you much greater control over shared data, since it lets you determine the specific users that will have access as well as the level of access they will receive.
To Disable Simple File Sharing

Disabling Simple File Sharing is necessary in order to enable the creation of Access Control Lists for shared disks and folders:
