____Summary of Changes____

The following section describes errors users of version 1.0 
of the Intel(R) PRO/DSL 2100 Modem Software may have experienced. 
Symptoms are described, the cause is defined, and the affected
operating systems are listed.


Symptom: 
   After browsing the web for a short period of time, the modem 
   would stop receiving traffic. The modem would stay trained, 
   but would not allow any browsing. 
Cause: 
   Certain video cards (S3 Virge-based) conflict with the 
   received traffic, thereby causing the modem to quit 
   receiving traffic.
OS affected: All

Symptom: 
   Windows 95 users experienced a "Windows Protection Error" upon 
   the first reboot after the modem had been installed.
Cause: 
   Software installed on some computers that controls video and 
   fax applications (MegaPhone* type software), conflicted with 
   the modem drivers.
OS affected: Windows 95

Symptom: 
   PC not recognizing the adapter during installation, or not 
   assigning the adapter any resources (IRQ, memory etc.).
Cause: 
   Modem requires a bus mastering PCI slot. Some older PCs do 
   not have a bus mastering slot, or do not have it enabled in 
   the BIOS. The new software is better able to determine this 
   condition and will report back this reason for the modem not 
   being able to be detected.

Symptom: 
   Not able to train in some PC’s.
Cause: 
   Modem is not being assigned the resources that it needs, or is
   conflicting with other devices in the PC. The updated driver 
   better indicates resources that it needs and asks for from the 
   PC. Resources are more evenly allocated.
OS affected: All

Symptom: 
   Reed-Solomon errors were not being incremented correctly in 
   Connection Manager.
Cause: 
   The RS errors were being reset every few seconds. This update
   will not reset the counter until the driver is unloaded and 
   loaded again.
OS affected: All
