This problem is corrected for Win95/98 in the driver v1.8
Win98 only : CAPI
-----------------
Problem: CAPI can't be installed. Error message: "SX128 MAC driver for Capi Subsystem must have VCAPID installed".
Solution: This problem is corrected in the
driver v1.8 (note this problem doesn't appear with Win95).
Win95/98 only : Call back with TAPI lines
-----------------------------------------
Problem: Using the device "SX128i-LineXX", the ISDN does not get the incoming call back.
Solution: Work around, use the "SX128 MODEM" device to call and receive call back.
This problem is corrected in the driver v1.8.
ATI3
----
Problem: ATI3 reply "Version 1.5d" instead of "1.7"
Solution: Please get isdn driver version number from SX128 control panel. This is fixed in driver v1.8

HTML Documentation
------------------
Only LAN documentation for Win95 available, and contain some errors.
We are correcting this.
Under Windows NT 4
------------------
Address, IRQ, and COM port are set by default (D000, 3, 2).
If you need, change these values to the same as the MC220 PC Card analogue.
Changing after installation:
Control panel / Network / Adapters / SX456ETH / Properties.
Get COM Port value from Control panel / Modems.
Get address value from Control panel / PC Card (PCMCIA) / MC220 / tab Controller / Memory range (ex: D000-xxxx). Get IRQ.
In further versions, the installation software automatically get these values.
Under Windows 98
----------------
LAN + Modem can't work on the same time (modem don't transfer anything after some minutes but the LAN keep working).

Under Win98 when using ISDN : accessing disk drive hang up ISDN
---------------------------------------------------------------
Problem known with Toshiba Satellite 4010 under Win98. Bios problem.
Toshiba Satellite 4060 and 4080 have the same problem.
Under Win98 when installing ISDN
--------------------------------
Error message : "ISDNSEL : The ISDN stack is not installed on your system. Please install it before running this setup program."
This error message do not cause problems. Don't care about it.
Fixed from ISDN driver v2.02 (TECH0359).
Under WinNT 4 when installing ISDN
----------------------------------
- Error message "The PC card modem is not installed or is not plugged. Please install it, and plug the PC card before running again the setup program".
- French error message: "Installation : La carte PCMCIA n'est pas installée ou n'est pas insérée dans son emplacement. Veuillez installer la carte PCMCIA avant de relancer le programme d'installation".
This error message can appear if:
1. The PC Card modem is not installed at all (Control panel / Modems : empty). You must add a new modem and let Windows detect the card.
2. The PC Card was installed with a old MDM220.INF file (ex: from floppy disk "TECH0021", or CD TECH0265).
3. The PC Card modem is installed with the wrong driver (ie. "Standard Modem").
To solve points 1 and 3, you must remove the PC Card modem driver from NT (you may have to install a unreal modem in order to let RAS reconfigure), restart Windows, then add a new modem using the driver MDM220.INF from the CD-Rom provided with ISDN drivers.
LAN with Windows 98 SE
----------------------
Main symptom : No MAC Address.
We confirm this version of the LAN driver can't work under Win98 Second Edition.
Fixed from LAN driver v1.23 (included into next TECH release).
Installing LAN under WinNT 4
----------------------------
- English error message: "OEMSETUP.INF file missing".
- French error message: "Message du programme d'installation: Le programme d'installation ne peut pas trouver OEMSETUP.INF ou OEMSETNT.INF Veuillez entrer le nouveau chemin pour le fichier OEMSETUP.INF"
Occurs when trying to add a network adapter from "Control panel / Network".
- French error message "Erreur: La migration de WinSock 1.1 vers 2.0 a échoué ( 0x2). Le bilan des liaisons et la configuration vont continuer, mais vos composants de gestion du réseau ne seront peut-être pas correctement configurés."
Solution:
This is not the right way to install MC220 LAN driver, you must install the card as a modem + dialup networking, then run the SETUP.EXE provided (select the LAN option, then upgrade the card for LAN with the Loader).
- To check if LAN driver is installed, look into the menu Start / COM One Platinium Card. If you see "LAN Manual" this mean LAN driver files are installed.
- To check if card is upgraded for LAN, under HyperTerminal type "at*i" the word "LAN" should appear.
Call Back with MSN and sub address
----------------------------------
Putting "#0556788382*123" into SX128 / "MSN / Sub address" does NOT work.
You can only set a MSN OR a sub address.
No change planed.
Error message in Event Viewer
-----------------------------
PSTN work, but ISDN don't.
Event log show: "The SX2API service depends on the SX2CTRL which failed to start because of the following error: The device is not ready".
We recommend to get in touch with COM One.
Missing file "SETUP.DLL"
------------------------
By default, system files are hidden by Windows 95/98. If you copy the CD to a hard disk, Windows will not copy system files.

Problems fixed
- Symptom: After installing ISDN, if you already own LAN installed, then the LAN documentation was displayed instead of ISDN.
Changed: At the end of SETUP, the documentation displayed will be LAN if ISDN is installed, or ISDN if LAN is installed. Documentations priority: PSTN, GSM, ISDN, LAN.
- In PSTN mode, then GSM command AT+CBST=7 do not return "ERROR" any more.
- Symptom: Modems drivers "SX128 MODEM #2" (or #3 …).
Explanation: Modification done in the installation process. Now if you install ISDN driver over a previous ISDN driver, "SX128 MODEM #2" will not be added again.
With previous TECH you needed to install ISDN driver (Add/Remove program : "COMOne Platinium Card"), then install again.
- WinNT 4 with ISDN installed : SX2TAPI ports disappeared
Symptom: When trying to using "Remote Access Setup", Error message: "The following ports have been removed from the RAS configuration because they are no longer installed on the computer".
Network / Remote Access Service / Remote Access Setup / can't add "SX2TAPI" because they doesn't appear.

Anomalies known
1. Under Windows 95 (all versions) : loader can not upgrade the card (After "MC223 Platinium Flash Port" the <Next> button is disabled (grey)).
Updating under another operating system is required.
2. Under Windows 95 4.00.950 and 4.00.950a (= 950 + SP 1) :
After MC223 detection, Windows 95 do not recognize drivers selected (ISDN223.INF). Note : No anomaly with Win 95 950b, 950c.

Situation :
This anomaly was reported under W98 SE, with internal ISA card "PC Card controller Vadem" (device manager: "Controlleur PCMCIA Plug-and-Plug Famille SCM SwapBox", version du matériel v1.0.00, Vadem chipset).
This incompatibility is hardware, and will not be fixed with drivers.
4. GSM phone “Siemens S25” does not work
