Updated Plug and Play Information:
==================================
	A wealth of new Plug and Play troubleshooting tips are 
	contained in the PNPFAQ.TXT document located on the Legacy
	Installation disk.  This file is maintained by Supra 
	Technical Support and is updated on a regular basis.  New
	versions will be posted on the Supra BBS (541.967.2444), 
	CompuServe forum (GO SUPRA), and the Supra Web site 
	(http://www.supra.com).  If you have Plug and Play questions
	or problems, the PNPFAQ.TXT should be your first source
	of reference.

Do you need to use the Legacy Installation software?
====================================================
	Legacy is only required for DOS and Windows 3.1/3.11 
	installations.  If you are running Windows 95 you DO NOT
	need to install this Legacy software.

Requirements for Installation:
==============================

	You MUST install the software to a hard disk. 

	There MUST be at least 3 MegaBytes of free space on the hard
	drive when you start. The software does not take up this much
	space once the Installation has completed, but due to require-
	ments of the CASSIST program from Intel, we must copy a 
	large number of files to the drive temporarily. They are 
	deleted as a normal part of the Installation cleanup.

	You MUST be at the DOS command line when you start the Install.
	You cannot be in a DOS Box under Windows.
	
	Assuming you are installing the software from a floppy
	drive, you must change to the floppy drive, then start the 
	install program:

	A:   [ENTER]            // change to floppy drive

	INSTALL [ENTER]         // start the INSTALL program

	The Installation program WILL FAIL if you are not on the 
	floppy drive when INSTALL is started.

	If you are installing the Windows software, you must have
	these additional items:

	1. The WIN.COM program must be in the Windows directory
		you specify (this is normal)

	2. You must be running PROGMAN.EXE as your Windows Shell 
		for the Install to work.  This is setup in the
		Windows\SYSTEM.INI  file, in the [boot] section:

		shell=progman.exe

	    If you are running some other Shell, comment out the
	    'shell=SomeOtherShell' line by placing a semicolon ';'
	    before the line, like this:   ;shell=SomeOtherShell
	    and then add the   shell=progman.exe   line EXACTLY as
	    shown above.  After the install is complete, you may 
	    remove the changes and start your normal Shell.


In Case of Trouble During Installation:
=======================================

	View the PNPFAQ.TXT file on the Legacy Installation disk for
	specific problems and solutions.
	
	If you had to abort the installation process, see the next 
	section for help un-installing the software. Should 
	the un-install not succeed completely, we detail the changes 
	we made to your system during the install.

	1. A line was added to your CONFIG.SYS file:

		DEVICE=C:\SUPRA\DWCFGMG.SYS
			     
	2. A file named ~SUPRA~.DAT was added to the Root Directory
		of your hard drive, and can be deleted.

	3. A file named ESCD.RF was added to the Root Directory
		of your hard drive, and can be deleted.


	If installing the Windows software, backup copies of the 
	three INI files we modify are in the \SUPRA\WIN directory
	with extensions of BAK. i.e. WIN.INI is \SUPRA\WIN\WIN.BAK.
	The changes made to the files are detailed below:

	4. SYSTEM.INI:  [386Enh] section:
			DEVICE=VCAD.386 was added
			DEVICE=VCMD.386 was added

	5. WIN.INI:     [Windows] section:
			run = C:\SUPRA\WIN\SU_HELPR.EXE was added

			[Supra] section was added, and can be removed

			[ConfigMgr] section was added, and can be removed

	6. PROGMAN.INI: The SUPRA.GRP file was added

			The GroupNN number for SUPRA.GRP was added to 
				the Order= line

	7. Windows\SYSTEM Directory had the following files added:

		VCAD.386   VCMD.386   WINCM.DLL



Normal Un-Install:
==================

	The UNINSTAL program is designed to be run after the product was
	successfully installed. It may or may not have the data file it
	needs to perform the un-install if you had trouble during the 
	Installation process.

	In a normal Un-Install, go to the Product directory and type:

	CD \PRODUCTPATH [ENTER]         // typically 'CD \SUPRA'

	UNINSTAL Y                      // starts automated un-install

	If UNINSTAL changes your CONFIG.SYS file (to remove the      
	DWCFGMG.SYS line) then the program will re-boot your system
	automatically or prompt you to reboot.


Un-Install After Problems During Installation:
==============================================

	The UNINSTAL program assumes your Install ran without incident.
	It requires its data file, UNINSTAL.DAT so it can find the Boot
	drive and the Windows directory.

	If you had problems during the Installation process, you must 
	perform the following steps:

	1. Change to the Supra Product directory. If the UNINSTAL.DAT
		file is not there, you must create it with your editor.
		A sample file is one line in length, as follows:

		C C:\WINDOWS   [EOF]
		| |
		| --> path to Windows Directory. If you did not install
		|     the Windows software, change the C: to Z: 
		|     as in Z:\WINDOWS
		|
		----> is the Boot Drive.  UNINSTAL looks there for ESCD.RF

	If UNINSTAL does not find the entries it is looking for, it 
	doesn't change anything and will tell you so. Therefore, no
	un-desired changes to your system will be made if the Install
	process did not make all the changes detailed above.
	

Advanced Topics:
================

Modifying CONFIG.SYS 

	If during the Supra Legacy Install you choose not to let the 
	installation software modify your CONFIG.SYS, you will need to
	edit the file by hand to properly run your Supra Plug and Play
	modem.  If you are uncomfortable doing this modification, you
	should let the Supra Legacy Install software make the modifications
	for you.  The modification requires adding the following line to
	your CONFIG.SYS file on your C: hard drive using a text editor.

	DEVICE=C:\SUPRA\DWCFGMG.SYS

	It is highly recommend you add this line so its the first in the 
	CONFIG.SYS file.  To assure proper configuration of your Plug
	and Play modem, the driver must run before any other driver or
	    program.  

	Any attempts to load DWCFGMG.SYS high with a memory manager should 
	also be avoided.  DWCFGMG.SYS can not work properly if loaded into
	high memory and can cause weird system problems if attempted.  The
	DWCFGMG.SYS driver has a very small foot print (less then 7k) and 
	shouldn't cause any serious strain on your system by running in the
	base memory.

	
Windows 95
==========

Beta & Release Versions

	Your Supra Plug and Play modem was designed and tested with many of
	the beta versions of Windows 95 as well as the first commercial 
	release.  Due to the nature of pre-release software, only beta 
	builds of Windows 95 above 500 can be recommended.
	
	For users who only have an earlier version and are unable to upgrade,
	you will need to manually add your modem to registry.  This can be
	done via the Modems Control Panel.  

Locating the COM port assigned to modem

	Windows 95 will automatically assign a COM port to your Supra Plug 
	and Play modem during installation.  Under Windows 95, COM ports are 
	used as labels for modems and are not tied to any specific computer 
	address like legacy systems.  

	To find out what COM port Windows 95 has assigned to your modem, use
	the following procedure:

		1. Open Control Panel via the Start button
		2. Open the System Panel
		3. Choose the Device Manager
		4. Choose the Modems section and then the modem you are 
		   looking for
		5. Choose the Modem section, this will display the COM port 
		   label Windows 95 has assigned the modem.  This COM port 
		   label can be used for selecting the modem in all software.

	      
About Plug and Play:
====================

Misc Information

	Supra Plug and Play modems have the ability to use any base address 
	between 200h and 3F8h.  The modems also have the ability to use any
	one of the following interrupts: 3,4,5,7,10,11,12 or 15.  It will 
	attempt to use a standard serial port address first, (3F8h, 2F8h,
	3E8h or 2E8h) and either interrupt 3 or 4 before moving on the
	less commonly used address/interrupt combinations.

	Unlike previous modem designs, Plug and Play modems do not have
	"pins and jumpers" for manual configuration of the COM port and 
	interrupt request (IRQ).  The Legacy software is responsible for 
	selecting the appropriate resources and configuring the modem. 
	In the event that you need to manually adjust the settings selected
	by the Legacy software, see the PNPFAQ.TXT file for more information.
