2) Use SETUP utility provided by LAN Manager to inatall the
ACCTON'S NDIS driver . Choose the "Import Network drivers"
option and insert THIS DRIVER DISKETTE to diskette drive and then
you can configure your system to ACCTON'S driver ETHPOCK.DOS
3) Modify the PROTOCOL.INI file if you are not using the default
setting.
4) Modify the CONFIG.SYS file to add EPP enabler as device driver
such as:
DEVICE=EN-EPP.EXE
It is important that EN-EPP must add to CONFIG.SYS before other
