Applicable files
-----------------
supraexpress_56-driver.exe

Release Notes
-----------------
These INF's are provided for those who might have lost their original
disks or received a modem before certain Microsoft functionality was
available. If your modem is working correctly with your system, there
is no reason to install new INF files.

Installation Instructions
-----------------
You should print this document for easy reference.

There are two possible paths for installing these files on your computer.
The first path is for those who have not installed any drivers for thier
modem. The second is for those who have already installed INF files for
their modem.

Installation Process 1:
-----------------

For those who have installed no INF files:

1. Label a blank formatted floppy disk, "SupraExpress 56 INF files."

2. Insert the disk into the floppy drive.

3. Download the file onto a floppy disk. In your browser, click on the
file name, supraexpress_56-driver.exe. Your browser should prompt as to
where you would like save the file. You should select the floppy drive, "a:\"
(without the quotes).

4. When the download is complete, you should disconnect from the internet
and close all open programs.

5. You should then need to extract the files from the downloaded file.
Click Start\Run\Browse. Locate the supraexpress_56-driver.exe file on the
floppy drive, "a:." Click OK and then OK again.

6. A Self-Extractor window should appear. "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP" should appear
in the Unzip To Folder window. This is the default location. You should change
this to "a:" (without the quotes). Click on the Unzip button.

7. After the files have been extracted click OK to the "success" window and
then Close to exit the extractor program.

At this point the files have been extracted and are ready for use to install.

SupraExpress 56 ACF 1 Meg External Series Windows 9x/NT firmware update.
======================================================================
Applicable files
-----------------

V.90 and 56Flex (these updates allow you to update the modem to either 56Flex
or V.90):

supraexpress_56-209X_2200-firmware.exe (most current version V2.200-01)
supraexpress_56-209X_2081-firmware.exe (archive version V2.081-07)

(X is either a 1 or 2)

Release Notes
-----------------
These firmware updates are provided for those who are experiencing difficulty with
their modem's current firmware. Unless you are experiencing connection or operation
difficulties with the modem, there should be no need to upgrade your firmware.
Firmware updates are created to deal with specific issues that may arise with
previous versions. In some cases, a firmware update may negatively affect the
situation. And for some modems there are no "flash-backs" to the previous firmware
versions to correct this.

Connection rates of 42K and above are common 56K connections for most US phone lines.
If your modem is operating properly, but only connecting at these connection ranges,
Diamond/S3 would not recommend updating the firmware. This is because it is not likely
that a firmware/driver update will improve these connection speeds.

Before considering updating the firmware/drivers, you may want to first try the following:

1) Try various initialization strings suggested on our web site, www.s3.com.
2) Try dialing into another number. The situation may only be present when dialing into
a specific number's equipment.
3) Test the line quality with the AT&V1 command.

If the situation persists after trying the above, then it may be beneficial to update
the modem's firmware.

It is recommeded that you use the V2.200 version of the firmware unless specifically
instructed otherwise by Diamond/S3 technical support.
