                       Ascentia 950N, Windows 95, and Xircom PE3

    PROBLEM

    After installing a Xircom PE3 Pocket Ethernet Adapter on an Ascentia 950N,
    running Windows 95, the following error message may appear:

    "Your Xircom PE3 is not working correctly".

    CAUSE

    The 32 bit driver from Xircom is incompatible with Windows 95.

    SOLUTION

    Until Xircom releases a new 32 bit driver, select the Xircom 16 bit NDIS
    driver in Windows 95.
    For a permanent solution, look for the 32 bit driver on Xircom's BBS
    (805) 376-9130.
