The S0 parameter specifies how many slots are in your machine. I
don't bother with the driver that came with the KIT. I just use the
PCMCIA Phoenix drivers that came with PC-DOS 6.1. I find that if I
reserve the COM port in the config.sys and open a DOS box (with minimal
memory) with the drivers loaded, I can do fine.
The major benefit of this is that the Pheonix drivers communicate with
the card to find out what it does.
Include the following drivers in your DOS box device section:
c:\dos\pcmss.exe /s0=2
c:\dos\pcmcs.exe
c:\dos\pcmscd.exe /com=2
Also, include other parameters on pcmscd if you have other devices
beside a modem. And obviously, use the right directory.

I called their engineers once and found it most useful (though it
was a long distance call). I'll look up the number on my phone bill
and try to find the engineer I spoke with (who told me that the drivers
for OS/2 should be out around Dec. and said he'd call me, but I've been
away from the number I gave him).
