Using NDIS driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
For NDIS driver, D-Link support "DLKPCI.DOS" driver for PCI
Family Adapter. User can use "DLKPCI.DOS" driver to replace
AEXNDIS.DOS which is the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.
*** CONFIG.SYS ****

Comments:
If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option
on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you must run
NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.
Lantastic 6.0 Install
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Using NDIS driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
To install D-Link NDIS driver "DLKPCI.DOS", user can use Lantastic
6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters"
then type path "C:\LANTASTI.DRV" (specify by D-Link install program).
Install program will search "DLKPCI.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy
these two files to target directory.
If user already installed Lantastic 6.0 and want to install D-Link's
PCI Family adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with D-Link's NDIS
driver "DLKPCI.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS
NOTE: "DLKPCI.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by D-Link
"AEXNDIS.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by ARTISOFT

Using ODI DOS driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
ODI for DOS driver, D-Link support "DLKPCI.COM" driver for PCI
Family Adapter. User can use "DLKPCI.COM" driver to replace NRODI.COM
which is the ODI for DOS driver offered by ARTISOFT.
Note: Because DLKPCI.COM following HSM v4.0 spec, please save
LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM that original supported by Lantastic.
Copy both LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM from C:\LANTASTI.DRV to
target directory C:\LANTASTI.
