DESCRIPTION:  Creates the ROMPaq Firmware Update Diskette for the Compaq 
Remote Insight Board, allowing a user to upgrade the board's ROM 
firmware image to Version 1.10. The Compaq Remote Insight Board is 
a 32-bit, EISA-based, intelligent remote management board.  It is an 
option that allows a server administrator to monitor server activity and 
perform several remote functions to maintain system integrity.

Enhancements:
  - Support for NT Graphics Mode Remote Console
  - Internet Browser support for accessing Remote Console, viewing
    server information, and downloading Survey information
  - Integrated Management Log Support for Compaq Servers

Fixes:
  - Fixes an issue with a United Kingdom (UK) modem.  This problem
    could prevent the modem from answering the phone if the power
    to the server was off.
  - Fixes an issue with the Remote Insight Board reporting "Battery
    Needs Replacement" after it has been depleted overnight.
  - Fixes an issue with the Remote Insight Board not sending traps
    to all configured users when "Login Attempt Exceeded" alert
    occurred.
  - Fixes an issue with the Remote Insight Board not hanging up the
    modem after delivering a trap when using a modem sharing device.
  - Fixes an issue with the Remote Insight Board not clearing the
    Pending Alert flag when using a Null Modem Connection.
  - Fixes an issue with the Pages/Traps delivery fairness when using
    a modem sharing device.
  - Fixes an issue with Global alerts.  This problem could be seen when
    disabling global alerts, but the traps/pages would still be sent.

IMPORTANT:
  When upgrading from firmware version 1.00 to any version higher, the
  serial and modem configuration will be returned to defaults.  This is
  due to the change in modem default configuration string in the 1.01
  firmware.  If upgrading between firmware versions 1.01 and higher,
  the serial and modem configurations will NOT change.

  After upgrading from firmware 1.00, run the system configuration and
  verify that the serial and/or modem configuration meets the requirements.  
  If not, make the necessary changes.

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. The ROMPaq diskette is a self booting diskette.  Place the
ROMPaq diskette into drive A: and power cycle the server to begin 
updating the Compaq Remote Insight Board.
