                     NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation
                     ===================================

The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks and install
up to two network adapters in a workstation. This ODI driver supports the Port,
Node Address, Protocol and Frame options for creating your own NET.CFG file.
For more information on these keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI
shell for DOS - NET.CFG options".

ODI Workstation for DOS
=======================

1. Copy the PEEPP.COM file from this diskette into the NetWare client
   directory containing Novell's LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and NETx.COM files.

2. Follow Novell's instructions on using ODI programs. You can substitute
   the PEEPP.COM whenever a reference is made to the Hardware Specific
   Module.

3. A typical ODI workstation startup includes:

     >LSL               ; Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
     >PEEPP             ; Hardware Specific Module
     >IPXODI            ; IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
     >NETx              ; DOS Shell Support Module provided by Novell
     >LOGIN

NetWare 4.x ODI Client Driver for DOS
=====================================

Install the NetWare ODI client driver files into your workstation, if not yet
installed.  Follow the installation procedure described in the NetWare
installation manual.

To run NetWare Client Install v1.21, follow these steps:

1.  Change to the destination directory by typing:

            C:\NWCLIENT

    A message appears on the screen asking you whether or not you want the
    program to perform modifications on your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

2.  Answer "Yes".  The program then modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
    accordingly and creates backup copies.

    The following message appears:

        Install support for MS Windows? (Y/N):

3.  Answer "No".

    The program displays the following:

    Configure your workstation for backup by a NetWare server running
    software such as SBACKUP? (Y/N): No

4.  Answer "No".

5.  Select a driver for your network board.

6.  From the driver list, select "Other Drivers".

7.  Go to the Insert the Driver Disk dialog box and specify the path where the
    ODI driver and INS files reside.  For example:  A:\NETWARE\CLIENT\ODI.DOS.

8.  Press Enter and select the target ODI driver.

9.  Specify the driver's optional settings.

10.  Press F10 to save to new configuration.

11.  Highlight here and press <Enter> to install.

The program copies the necessary files for NetWare Client.  Continue the
installation procedure to completion. Upon completion, a new NET.CFG file will
be created in your DOS directory.  Typically, this file contains the following
lines:

              Link Driver PEEPP
                   PORT  378
                   INT   7
                   FRAME Ethernet_802.3
                   FRAME Ethernet_802.2
                        :

An ordinary startnet.bat for the ODI workstation performs the following:

     SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH  --Set NetWare 4.X to English language
     LSL                     --Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
     PEEPP                   --Hardware Specific Module
     IPXODI                  --IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
     VLM                     --DOS Support Module provided by Novell
     F:                      --Change to connected device
     LOGIN .ADMIN            --Login to file server as user ADMIN

You may run STARTNET to access the Novell network.
