   Workstation for DOS ODI Client

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X
   5.0 workstation driver for AcerLAN ALN325 PCI ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \nwclient\ALN325.COM

   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
     STARTNET.BAT:
         LSL
         ALN325
         IPXODI
         NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x, 5.0)

     NET.CFG:
         LINK DRIVER ALN325
           SPEED 100  --Specify adapter's speed.

           BUSNO NN   --where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus
                        which connects to the adapter.
           DEVICENO NN --where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device
                         identification number of the specified PCI adapter.
          [ or you can use "EtherID" to select a specific ALN325 adapter:
           EtherID 006067NNNNNN --Where 006067NNNNNN specify a ALN325
                                  adapter's node address.This is only
                                  required when more than one ALN325
                                  adapters exist on one system.

           FRAME Ethernet_802.2 --Specify frame type
           FRAME Ethernet_802.3
           FRAME Ethernet_SNAP
           FRAME Ethernet_II

         NetWare DOS Requester
           FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
           NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
           PREFERRED SERVER = NW411


   Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.12 Client :
   -----------------------------------------------
      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
      the  adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure
      that your NetWare workstation is properly installed.

      1. Copy ALN325.COM from the ALN325  Driver Diskette subdirectory
         A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk.

      2. Copy STARTNET.BAT batch file from A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk

      3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your
         requirements (see examples above).  If there are two frame types
         listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
         the  driver will load.  See above for examples.  The NET.CFG file
         should be in the same directory with the LSL.COM file.


   Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X, 5.0 Client with vlm:
   -----------------------------------------------
      1. Make a new directory NWCLIENT(or other name) on C drive

      2. Copy A:\NWCLIENT\*.* to C:\NWCLIENT\*.*

      3. Add a line "@CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT"(ingore symbol "")
         on the first line of AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
         

   NOTE:
   -----
      1. Be sure LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS file for the
         network mappings to work properly.

      2. When you have multiple ALN325 Adapters on your system:
         Use "BUSNO" and "DEVICENO" KEYWORD in NET.CFG to select which
         adapter to use with your netware client.(or you can use "EtherID")
