- After downloading this file from ftp.usr.com, and copying the file into
- C:\Windows\Inf, let windows re-detect your modem, and it works fine,
- after you press finish. It looks like the file gets corrucpted on a web
- transfer, a binary FTP ensures the data comes accross 'as is'.

- Hope this is of some help
