Key points for high MPX performance
------------------------------------
Accton's MPX Ethernet adapters (EN1657) are
performance-tuned for heavy network loads, like
transferring large files. This section describes
steps to optimize its performance on NetWare.

1. Make sure to install an EN1657 adapter in both
	the workstation and the file server.

2. Install both the workstation and the file
	server drivers respectively.

	a. ACCTON.COM is your workstation driver for NetWare DOS/ODI.
		It is found in your Driver Diskette
		(\NETWARE\ODI\DOSODI\ACCTON.COM)

	b. ACCTON.LAN is your server driver for NetWare 3.x.
		It is found in your Driver Diskette
		(\NETWARE\ODI\3.1x\ACCTON.LAN)

3. Before running the ACCTON.LAN server driver, modify
	the STARTUP.NCF file to include the following
	command line:

	SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 4202

4. Use the Load and bind command to start the server driver.
