	Some information that might help you Pison Gold Card/Windows 95 users.

	After recently purchasing a Psion V.34 PCMCIA Gold Card I was
disappointed to find that there are no drivers available for Windows
95. It is also unquoted within the available modems in Windows 95. I
chose the Psion V.32 Gold Card to install. This quoted really silly
speeds when connecting to Demon & Dial Pipex (like 41K6 & 51K2). After
investigating the modemlog.txt file, I worked out that the modem was
infact connecting at 24K & 26K4). The Psion modem definition appears
to be defaulting to hayes response interpretations rather than those
of Psion. After hacking the mdmhayes.inf file, I gained correct
Windows 95 reporting.

	The Psion modem I have also required a firmware upgrade from v7.10 to
v7.17 before I achieved the more respectable 28K8 speeds to both
internet service providers. This is available from their BBS on +44
(0)1908 260435, but not via their WWW
'http://www.u-net.com/p-dacom/home.htm'. You will need to download two
files GD7I717.BIN dated 15/9/95 & MUPDATE.EXE dated 5/4/94.

	If anybody is interested in my hacked copy of mdmhayes.inf to enable
the V.34 Gold card to function and report correctly, please mail me
separately.

	I hope this helps,
