Where abouts on the Diamond Web site do you get this from? I've looked, but nothing jumps out and says "this is what your're looking for, download me!" (metaphorically speaking!) I have a Supra Express 28.8i, and am suffering from the same problems. The modem works OK for other services (like Compu$erve), it's just that Demon doesn't seem to like negotiating protocols (the modem quite often comes back with PROTOCOL: NONE and then drops the connection). Please help me, and (I suspect), many other Supra users.
