[Options]
OemAboutWebPage=<text seen in About box>
OemAboutSupport=<text seen in About box>
ChkMdmRetries=n (default is 1 pass)
Suggest setting this to 2 or three for PCMCIA upgrades
MaxComOverride=n (default is ports known to OS)
default is 0. If n>0 & n>x (where x is number of ports windows returns)
then Flashcom will check n ports instead of x ports.
AllowModuleBkup= 0 or 1 (default is 1)
AllowModuleSelect= 0 or 1 (default is 1)
If Firmware Backup is allowed, be sure to set AllowModuleSelect=1
so the user can select it if he need to reload the backup.
AllowModuleEdit= 0 or 1 (default is 0)
This is designed for OEM use. It unhides some button in the
Module Info dlg. It updates the INI file with changes you make.

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
