  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.
  
  
  NetWare Client Setup
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
  Insert your Novell NetWare CD-ROM and run the INSTALL.BAT file.

  Select "Client Installation" in "Select the type of 
        installation desired" window.

  Select "NetWare DOS/WINDOWS Client (VLM)" in "Select Client".

  Specify your target directory & installation default path as
          C:\NWCLIENT

  Allow your system's AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to be 
          updated automatically.

  When asked to supply the name of the network adapter you're
  installing, select OTHER DRIVERS under the Network Board
  option.
  
  When asked for the path to the board's drivers, insert the
  Ether16 LAN Card disk 1 into drive A and type:

            a:\netware\odi.dos
  
   Select "Linksys Ether16" as the Ethernet Adapter.

   Specify "Base I/O Port" and "Media Frame Type" values, then press
          "F10" to save/continue.

   Follow the remaining instructions on your screen, then 
   restart your system and connect to NetWare server.


  Simple NetWare ODI Setup
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Linksys ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol
  stacks with the Ether16 .  It also allows you to install up to two 
  network adapters in a single workstation.  Using a NET.CFG file, you 
  may also specify particular PORT, NODE ADDRESS, PROTOCOL, and FRAME 
  options for your PC.  For more information about using these options, 
  please see your Novell NetWare user guides.

  To log in using ODI under DOS, copy the following file from the
  Ether16 Ethernet disk to the directory where your Novell LSL.COM,
  IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM files reside:

    NETWARE\ODI.DOS\ETHER.COM

  Next, create a NET.CFG file that reflects the port, node address,
  protocol, and frame types that your system is using.

  Finally, to log in, issue the following commands from the DOS
  prompt or a batch file:
