1.0  Overview
=============

This USBCOMM.EXE driver package provides you with IBM's most current support
for Universal Serial Bus (USB) communication (modem) devices on the OS/2
Operating System.

1.1  The USBCOMM.EXE file that you received contains the following 3 USB
     files in a self-extracting compressed format.

        -  README.TXT    This file that you are reading
        -  USBCINST.EXE  Executable that installs USB communication driver
                         support
        -  USBCOM.SYS    USB Communication Driver


2.0  USB-Modem Installation Instructions
===========================================

2.1  To use these USB driver files, you must expand the USBCOMM.EXE file into
     its 3 component files by
        (a.) opening an OS/2 window and
        (b.) typing USBCOMM at the OS/2 command prompt.
     Once the USBCOMM.EXE file is expanded, please continue with the
     USB Installation Instructions.

2.2 At the OS/2 command prompt, type USBCINST. This command will:
    (a.) Verify that the Basic USB device driver support is present.
    (b.) Create a backup copy of the existing CONFIG.SYS file. The name of
         the backup file is displayed on the OS/2 window.
    (c.) Add the USB communication device drivers to the OS2\BOOT directory on
         the Boot partition.
    (d.) Update the CONFIG.SYS file with the appropriate USB modem entry.
            DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBCOM.SYS

            Where C: is the drive letter of the OS/2 boot partition on your
            system.

2.3 This completes the installation procedure. You must now REBOOT you system
    to initialize the USB communication device driver support.


3.0  USB-Modem Un-Install Instructions
================================

3.1  Restore the backup version of the CONFIG.SYS file that was created by the
     IBMCINST utility to be the system's CONFIG.SYS configuration file.

     USB-Communication driver from the system configuration.
