I actually upgraded it in regular DOS with all neccessary PC card drivers loaded and used the PPI modem enabler to assign a com port before the upgrade. I now have 2 Hayes Optima v.34 PC Cards and they both been upgraded successfully to 33.6 last week using a similar method with Hayes modem enabler. Since Hayes owned PPI, they both use similar firmware and software for their modems. Everytime there's something new for the Hayes, it'll be available for the PPI as well or vice versa. These are DOS programs so I don't think they'll be happy with Win95. The Cardinal upgrade program is Windows based and it worked in Win95 which made my life a little bit easier.
