4 NEC Versa VX Release Notes
Updating the Modem Driver
If your NEC Versa system has a built-in mini-PCI modem, update the modem driver to provide
more reliable V.90 connections and to enable over-current protection. The
over-current protection feature of the modem avoids damage that results if you accidentally plug
the modem into a digital line. To update the installed driver and to enable over-current
protection for the modem, follow these steps.
