RESOLUTION

If you have an account with Cisco, you can connect to CIO.CISCO.COM and download the latest driver for Windows NT (NT_16.EXE). If you do not have an account, contact the Cisco technical support office at 1-800-553-2447 for assistance in downloading the file from the Cisco bulletin board system (BBS). Their BBS number is 408-526-8070. You will not be able to download the file by simply dialing in as an unregistered guest. After you have downloaded NT_16.EXE, type the following command to expand it:
