Also, the modems at both ends of the call must support 56K connections to achieve 56K speeds. If they do not, they will negotiate a standard V.34 rate. Current US FCC regulations limit download speeds of the modem to 53Kbps. -Several factors exist that can limit the modem's performance. Factors that can contribute to lower connection rates are: 1. Noisy line conditions on individual calls 2. Dirty or faulty wiring 3. Poor connection ability of the modem/fax machine on the other side 4. The Bulletin Board Service, Internet Service Provider or On-Line Service Provider may be forwarding the call to another location (long distance)to extend their local calling areas. To improve your modem performance, try connecting to and from different locations. 2) RELEASE NOTES / KNOWN LIMITATIONS ================================= Supported Environments ---------------------- Driver Name Description ----------- ----------- CBHCM.SYS NT4 COM Enabler R2MDMMXG.SYS NT4 Modem Driver MPC003D0.INF NT4 Modem Inf R2MDMSXG.SYS NT4 with Softex Driver R2MDMXGS.INF NT4 with Softex Inf R2MDMKXG.SYS Windows 2000 Modem Driver APUNINST.EXE Utility Uninstall Program CBHCMCFG.EXE NT4 Modem Configuration Utility MDMTEST.EXE 32 bit Windows Based Modem Test Utility R2MDMCXG.VXD Windows 9x Contention Driver R2MDMPXG.VXD Windows 9x Port Driver R2MDMMXG.VXD Windows 9x Modem Driver MPC003DA.INF Windows 9x / Windows 2000 Modem Inf RMVCARD.EXE Card Removal Utility SETUP.EXE Utility Install Program TELSEL.EXE Xircom Country Select Utility Modem Script Files ------------------ -Modem script files for popular applications can be found in the \SCRIPTS directory on the CD-ROM.

DISK1 includes SETUP.EXE, which installs all Xircom utilities; DISK2 contains drivers for Windows 9.x and Windows NT 4.0; DISK3 contains drivers for Windows 98SE and Windows 2000. IMPORTANT NOTE: Simply copying the files from the DISK1, DISK2, and DISK3 folders on the CD to diskettes WILL NOT set up the diskettes correctly! The MAKEDISK.BAT utility must be run for the diskettes to be constructed properly. 5) MACHINE SPECIFIC NOTES ====================== -IBM ThinkPad 600 Model 2645-45U Before attempting to remove the R2BM56WG from an IBM ThinkPad 600 Model 2645-45U, BE SURE to turn off the computer completely. Removing the card without turning the computer off may cause the computer to power off prematurely. It may be necessary to detach the power cord and remove the battery before attempting to turn the computer on again. You can identify the specific model of the computer by reading the barcode label on the bottom of the machine. The text on the label will read "TYPE 2645-45U" if that is the model you have. 6) XIRCOM CUSTOMER SUPPORT ======================= To obtain customer support for your Xircom product, please call or send a facsimile to the appropriate number listed below.
