Update to installation instructions for 56K Internet Modem Kit (Option 42H4321).

The instructions found in the users guide for installation under Microsoft Windows 95 were written to reflect the installation process under the first release of Windows 95. Following the initial release of Windows 95, Microsoft made updates and released several OEM Service Releases for distribution as pre-loaded images by OEM manufacturers including IBM. These releases are know as OSRÆs. The installation steps outlined below are intended to more accurately reflect the installation process under the OSR2 version of Windows 95 found on systems purchases in the last 1.5 to 2 years.
