The driver FE100A.COM use SOHOware 10/100 PCI Network Adapter.
FE100A syntax:
FE100A [-i] [-d] [-n] [-w] [-p] [-h] [-l] [-f] [-u] <PD_INT_NO>
where:
[-i] The "-i" option forces driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3
instead of Ethernet II.
[-d] The "-d" option does not start LAN card until this driver is
called by the higher layer programs first.
[-n] Your NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL
workstation uses NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option
to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into NOVELL ISO-like packets.
[-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under
Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution,
which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows.
This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch.
[-p] The "-p" option is used to disable promiscuous mode.
[-h] The "-h" option is used to select the 100Mbps line speed.
[-l] The "-l" option is used to select the 10Mbps line speed.
[-f] The "-f" option is used to select the full deuplex mode.
(note: The option must be used with -h or -l option)
[-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver.
<PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where
you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the
range 0x60 to 0x80.
Notice !!
The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so
don't load the packet driver there!)
Example:
The following command line loads the SOHOware 10/100 PCI Network
Adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h.
FE100A 0x60
Note: The default transmission speed is NWAY auto-detection.
Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.
After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE.
The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications.
To run PC/TCP applications, You need to load PC/TCP Kernel
("ETHDRV.EXE").
a. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference
section, Chapter 2.3.
b. The following example will load the Kernel and
allocate 8 packet buffers. Increasing the
# of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents
dropping packets due to a buffer shortage.
ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter>
c. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications
(e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet').
example ftp 130.172.24.101 , 130.172.24.101 is host address.
Regard to host address , you must know its address.

How to Communicate with NCSA TelNet.
1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet
for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support
the packet driver interface.
2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please
refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions.
3. Load Packet Driver (FE100A 0x60):
a. Refer to "Packet Driver Syntax" section above.
b. To view the hint screen, type
FE100A -h <Enter>
c. The following example will load the packet driver
using interrupt vector 60 (hex). The IO_BASE
and IRQ will be read from adapter configuraion space:
FE100A 0x60 <Enter>
4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications
(e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet', etc.)
for example : ftp 192.72.24.202 , 192.72.24.202 is host address.

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
