HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a temporary, empty directory on your 
hard drive.  The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Enter "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files into the download directory. 

3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the self-extracting
file downloaded in step 1.

4. The driver may be installed directly from the files on the 
download directory.
To install, refer to the NETMODE.TXT and README.TXT files.
When the NETMODE.TXT file refers to the "Software CD," substitute 
"unpacked files on the download directory."  The same XIRCOM files 
referred to as being on the Software CD are in the download directory.

5. After the driver has been installed, you may delete the files 
from the download directory if you wish.
