-----------------------------

If there are old drivers already installed for the Hermstedt ISDN Adapter
you must uninstall the Adapter and after that you must execute the file
"LeoClr98.bat". "LeoClr98.bat" deletes the driver files which are not
deleted during the uninstalling because of a bug in Windows 98.
