  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
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Install the 3Com software.  When asked for the name of the network
    adapter or card to install,
    choose the 3Com EtherLink board.
    
    Copy the ETH.SYS file from the PKTDRV directory of the Ether16
    disk1 to your boot disk.  

    Make sure that the CONFIG.SYS file of the boot disk
    uses the following lines:

        DEVICE = ETHER.SYS </d> </w> <packet_int_no>
        DEVICE = ETH.SYS

    ...where...

        <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by the
                        packet driver program. This can be from 96 to 128.

        /d              Delay Initial - The driver program will not 
                        initialize the network interface card 
                        until the packet driver
                        program is accessed by its upper layer program.

        /w              The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows
                        environment.

    You may now reboot and to start 3COM workstation.
