  Before You Begin
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, 
  the following notes apply to you:

  1.  Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network
      software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal
      settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1
      under the UTILITY directory.  Use the program to set the
      card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings.  For directions
      on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide.
  
  2.  Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT,
      Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver
      that will work with a wide range of network cards.  This
      generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver,
      and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card.  If your 
      network software package asks you to choose the name of
      the network card you're installing from a list of available
      adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed,
      you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose
      to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be
      ready for use.  THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE
      WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF.  If 
      your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to 
      use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 
      SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off.

  
  
  Setup
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  You can use the DECnet PathWork's  NETSET.EXE program to install LINKSYS
  NDIS driver program.  Please refer to DECnet installation manual for
  detailed information.

  First, choose to install a network adapter under Pathworks.  When
  asked for the adapter to install, choose 3Com's Etherlink II card.

  Then modify your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:

        change this line:
                device = c:\decnet\ELNKII.SYS
        to this line:
                device = c:\decnet\ETHER.DOS

  Finally, modify your system's PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:

        change this:
        ---------------------------------
                [ELNKMACII]
                drivername = ELNKII$
                ;ioaddress = 0x300
                ;interrupt = 3
                xmitbufs = 2

                [IPX4MAC]
                   :
                bindings = ELNKMACII
                   :

                [DATALINK]
                   :
                bindings = ELNKMACII
                   :

        to this:
        -----------------------------------
                [ETHER]
                drivername = ETHER$

                [IPX4MAC]
                   :
                bindings = ETHER
                   :

                [DATALINK]
                   :
                bindings = ETHER
                   :

  Save the file and restart your computer.  The installation is complete.
