56K Drivers for Lucent Modem

=== Description ===
This update package installs an updated version of drivers for the
Lucent modem in your Aptiva. The update requires about 2.5MB of hard
drive space.Once you have installed these drivers, your modem will
comply with the ITU draft V.90 specification dated 2/98.

You may experience increased performance from your modem after
installing these drivers; however, many factors will affect your
modem connection speed. We have developed a set of Frequently Asked
Questions (v90faq.txt) that address some of the factors required for
a high speed modem connection and other V.90 considerations. We
strongly recommend that you review this information. You should print
this file (readme.txt) for reference before proceeding.

=== TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE ===
1) Download the file lt518a.exe onto your hard drive.2) Select Start -> Find -> Files and folders.3) Type lt518a.exe in the search box, then click on Find Now. This
   will locate the lt518a.exe file you just downloaded.4) Double-click on the icon labeled lt518a.exe.  Carefully read the
   license agreement. Follow the prompts to proceed with the installation.5) Please restart your machine when requested to do so.

=== NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS ===
The capability of the modem you purchased with your Aptiva system
should be reflected in the sales literature that came with your PC.
If your Aptiva does not have a 56K-upgradeable Lucent modem, these
new drivers will not make your 33.6K Lucent modem perform at "56K type"
speeds. Also, if you have a 33.6K Lucent modem and you install these
drivers; then the identifier in Device Manager-Modem will change from
"AT&T Winmodem" to "LT Winmodem". You need to re-select the modem in
your communication application(s) after applying this update. Contact
your communications software providers for assistance with set-up if
you have any problems.

=== DUN Objects ===
After applying this update, some of your applications that use
the modem may require modifications. Specifically, any applications
that utilize Dial-Up Networking (DUN) objects. For instance, if you
try to use IBM Update Connector without first being connected to the
Internet, and you run into problems, you may need to do the following:

1) Double-click on the 'My Computer' icon on your Windows desktop.
2) Double-click on the 'Dial-Up Networking' icon in the 'My Computer'
   folder. If the DUN Wizard window opens, close it.
3) Right-click on the 'Reserved connection (do not use)' icon, and
   select Properties from the pop-up menu.
4) Select the 'Configure...' button.
5) If the 'Only connect at this speed' checkbox is selected (has a
   check mark), deselect it.

If this procedure does not enable you to connect, try renaming the DUN
object, then running the application.

You may need to perform the steps described above for other
applications that use DUN objects, such as IBM Global Network (IBM
Internet Connection), or other Internet service providers (ISPs). You
may also need to re-create the DUN object using the DUN 'Make New
Connection' wizard, or re-setup your ISP software. Please contact your
ISP for help if you have trouble connecting after the installation of
this update.
