  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.
    
      If you'd rather use the hardware-specific network drivers
      that are included with the Ether16 card, follow the directions
      below to copy and/or install the drivers to your system.

  
  Setup
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Install 3Com 3+ Open software.  When asked to choose the kind
    of network card or adapter you're using, choose
    3Com's 3C501 card.

    Copy the ETHER.DOS file from the NDISK\DOS directory of disk 1
    to your computer's  C:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\DRIVERS directory.

    Modify the corresponding device driver statement for the 3C501 card
    in your CONFIG.SYS as follows:

        device = c:\3open\doswksta\lanman\drivers\ETHER.DOS

    Modify the PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:
    
     [ETHERLINK]
         :
        drivername = ETHER$
         :

     Reboot your system to affect the new configuration.
