DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install the K56flex-to-V.90
              Upgrade Wizard 2.1, which upgrades the modem firmware to
              the V.90 standard on Compaq Netelligent 56K ISA Data/Fax
              Modems.  

The Upgrade Wizard allows the user to switch easily among the 
following three firmware versions at any time:
 - Failsafe backup of the original modem firmware.
 - K56Flex transitional firmware (V. 2.013C, "V.90-aware").
     NOTE: This firmware permits tracking the modem's connections 
           and detects when the ISP's modems have been upgraded to
           the V.90 standard. 
 - Final V.90 firmware (V. 2.100).

The Upgrade Wizard performs the following:
 1. Detects the modem and reads the current firmware version. 
 2. Backs up the current firmware of the modem to the users hard disk
    for possible later use.
 3. Lets the user choose to flash the modem with either the K56Flex
    transitional firmware or the final V.90 firmware.
 4. Monitors the connections the modem makes with ISPs and detects
    if the ISP has V.90 capability.  If V.90 capability is detected,
    the user is notified when subsequently running the Update Wizard.
    The user is then prompted to flash the modem with the final V.90
    firmware.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - This V.90 firmware fixes connection problems encountered with earlier 
   V.90 firmware Ver 2.065. 

HOW TO USE:

1. 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.

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and
   follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
   confirm (or change) the name and location of the directory into
   which the files contained in the Softpaq will be unpacked.

3. After the files are unpacked, you may delete the SoftPaq file
   downloaded in step 1.

4. To install the K56flex-to-V.90 Update Wizard 2.1, run 
   SETUP.EXE from the download directory and follow the on-screen
   instructions.  The setup program creates the default subdirectory
   \Compaq\CNISA56K\V90Wiz21 on the hard drive, and the icons 
   "V90 Wizard 2.1" and "Uninstall" in the program group "Compaq
   Netelligent 56K ISA".
