If any of the following numbers --- 03, 04, 05, 07, 09 --
is missing from the screen's left column, skip to step 2. If IRQs 03, 04, 05,
07 and 09 are all listed, they are all being used by other devices. Your
modem needs one of these IRQs in order to function properly. To make
either IRQ 03, 04, 05, 07or 09 available for your modem, assign a different
(usually higher) IRQ to one of the devices currently using one of these IRQ
settings. (We recommend moving the device using IRQ 03 or 05.) Once
you have determined which device you need to move to a higher IRQ, refer
to its documentation or contact its manufacturer for more information about
changing its IRQ setting.

IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions (V.90), this modem is capable of 56 Kbps downloads.
However, due to FCC rules which restrict power output of the service providers' modems, current download speeds are limited
to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to server equipment
travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the V.90 standard or x2ä technology, and an Internet
provider or corporate host site compatible with the V.90 standard or x2 technology are necessary for these high-speed
downloads. See www.3com.com/56K for details.
