=====================================


These instructions describe how to install the 3Com NDIS driver 
for the DEC Pathworks network operating system.  These 
instructions assume the DEC Pathworks for DOS/Windows 
software has been installed on the hard drive from the
installation diskettes or CD-ROM. Refer to the DEC manual for 
installation instructions if the software has not been installed.
Refer to the DEC manual for templates and options.  


Note:  Read the WFW.TXT file on the EtherDisk diskette if 
       installing Pathworks with WFW v3.11. 

       Run the AutoLink program on the EtherDisk diskette if 
       installing Pathworks with Retail NetWare or NetWare with 
       ODI drivers. 

1.  Go to the drive where the Pathworks software is installed. 

2.  Change the directory to PCAPP.

    menu.

7.  Under the "Customize: Modify Workstation Configuration"
    menu, put an X beside the Network Adapter Information 
    line.

8.  Additional menus will appear. Choose the appropriate 
    options for your network environment. Refer to the DEC 
    manual if there are questions regarding these menus.

9.  Choose <Other Network Adapter> under the 
    "Customize: Network Adapter Information" menu.

10. If you are installing options other than Retail NetWare or 
    NetWare with ODI drivers, complete these instructions: 

    On the "Driver File:" line, type: 
    a:\mslanman.dos\drivers\ethernet\EL59X\EL59X.dos 
   

    On the "PROTOCOL.INI Stub:" line, type: 
    a:\mslanman.dos\drivers\ethernet\EL59X\protocol.ini

DEC PATHWORKS for DOS/Windows v4.1
=====================================


To install DEC PATHWORKS version 4.1 on a DOS NDIS 
workstation, DOS must be installed on the target workstation C:
drive, or you must have a bootable DOS floppy.  Follow these 
steps:

1. Insert the PATHWORKS DOS Client Setup diskette version 4.1 
   in your floppy drive.

2. Change to that drive and execute the NETSETUP.EXE program.

3. Follow the screens to select a transport protocol.

4. Insert the appropriate diskettes for the selection 
   you made in step 3.

5. Select your network adapter type: 

   ETHERNET.
 
6. Select the option (OTHER NDIS) adapters.

7. When prompted for the DRIVE:\PATH\FILENAME for the NDIS 
   driver, type:

	A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EL59X\EL59X.DOS

8. When prompted for the full DRIVE:\PATH of the PROTOCOL.INI
   fragment, type:

	A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EL59X\PROTOCOL.INI

9. Follow the rest of the installation screens and the 
   procedure for writing the KEY DISK.

   The NETSETUP program will build the PROTOCOL.INI file for 
   you and modify your startup files to use the adapter you
   have selected.



 NOTE:  You must add the /n parameter to the line in the 
	STARTNET.BAT file. That starts the network scheduler. 
	For example:

	   %BOOT%\DECNET\sch /h /n
