+++ Section A
Thank you for purchasing the EigerCom 56k PC Card Modem.
Be sure to run the Setup.exe file prior to inserting the
modem into the computer (See Section D).  This will allow the drivers
to be copied correctly to your computer.  Setup.exe can be
run in either Windows 95 or NT 4.0.

+++ Section B
Windows 3.x laptops are usually configured with Card and
Socket Drivers.  If you are missing these (per diagnostics
explained within the manual), then you should contact your
laptop manufacturer first for software that is made specifically
for your laptop.

Listed below are software manufacturers of Card and Socket
Services.  Contact one of these vendors in the chance that
your laptop manufacturer is no longer supporting your
computer.

+++ Section C
The file CSSOFF.EXE is to disable Real Mode Card and Socket
Services that can conflict with Windows 95.  It will successfully
remark out System Soft Drivers that are currently used in
a small percentage of newer laptops.  This program automatically
runs when installing Setup.exe.
If after the system removes the real mode drivers, the card is
not recognized (after reboot), then go to Start, Settings,
Control Panel, System, Device Manager, PCMCIA Controller.
Highlight and remove the Controller listed.  Restart the
computer and Windows 95 will find the controller again and
reinstall it.  Sometimes this is necessary as System Soft, and
other Card and Socket Services, bind themselves to the Windows
95 controller.  Windows 95 itself should be capable of controlling
the PC Cards.  Reasons laptop manufacturers would install CSS
is to provide support for the PC Cards under DOS, as DOS itself
does not have the support like Windows 95 does.
If you must not have Real Modem Card and Socket Drivers remarked
out for some reason, then simply insert the modem WITHOUT
running the Setup.exe.  This is not recommended as it has
been found that most older versions of System Soft are not
capable of correctly installing new 56k Modems.  Also, the program
creates backups of the Config.sys and System.ini under the Config.Ei#
and System.Ei# names to allow restoration of CSS if accidentally run.
This would only be necessary if certain cards, such as 
Zoom MPEG Cards are used.

+++ Section D
Please check our website on a continuous basis for updated
flash programs that will upgrade the modem to the newer revisions
of the Lucent Technologies/Rockwell K56Flex code, Cirrus Logic's x2,
and the International Standard v.90 code.

The new v.90 code is ready and can be downloaded from our website.
Please check our website for information on how to upgrade and to
obtain the code at http://www.eigerlabs.com 

Before upgrading, be sure that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supports
v.90.  After the update, you will lose the K56Flex protocol as the v.90 replaces
it (x2 version of the cards will support x2 & v.90 concurrently). 
This means that connections to a K56Flex ISP will only result in
connections up to v.34+ (33.6kpbs).  To revert you will need to download the
K56Flex code and downgrade the modem.

Upgrading and downgrading will not harm the modem, but will increase the
chance of corrupting the modem due to interruptions in the flashing, or other
discrepancies.  If corruption occurs via interruptions of the flashing, then
the modem will need to be returned to Eiger Labs, Inc. for modem replacement.
