               tt=0(0x01--0x7f)        transmit threshold

               where (1) packet_int_no, tt, and id values are hex values
                         in the forms of 0xXX (ie:0x12)
                     (2) other values are digit
                     (3) 'full' and 'half' do not co-exist

               Note:
               1. The parameter 'full' and 'half' is used to set the full
                  duplex function of the 840 adapter.
                  This adapter can be in half or full duplex mode. So 'full'
                  and 'half' do not co-exist. In half duplex mode, the RL100ATX
                  can only either transmit or receive. In full duplex mode, the
                  RL100ATX can transmit and receive at the same time.
                  If user does not set 'full' or 'half' in the command line,
                  this driver will auto detect the full duplex function.
               2. The parameter 'ls' is used to set the line speed.
                  This adapter can operate in 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The
                  accepted values is 10(10Mbps) or 100(100Mbps).
                  If user does not set this parameter, this driver will
                  auto detect the line speed.
               3. The parameter 'bl' is used to set burst length.
                  The default value of the burst length is 6.
                  Burst Length defines the maximum number of long words that
                  can be transferred within one PCI burst transaction. The
                  supported values are are 1(1 longword), 2(2 longwords),
                  3(4 longwords), 4(8 longwords), 5(16 longwords) and
                  6(32 longwords).
               4. The parameter 'ca' is used to set cache alignment.
                  The default value of cache alignment is 3.
                  Cache Alignment defines the address boundary for data burst.
                  The supported values are 1(8 longword alignment),
                  2(16 longword alignment) and 3(32 longword alignment)."
               5. The parameter 'tt' is used to set transmit threshold.
                  The default value of transmit threshold is 0.
                  This value decides the transmit threshold level of the
                  transmit FIFO. Transmission will start immediately after the
                  transmit FIFO has reached the threshold level or full pkt has been
                  transferred to the transmit FIFO if the frame length is less
                  than the transmit threshold level.
                      TxThreshold         Transmit Threshold Level
                         00H                     full pkt
                         01H                     16 bytes
                         02H                     32 bytes
                         --                      --
                         7FH                     2032 bytes
                                
               6. [packet_int_no] is the software interrupt number where
                  packet driver is loaded. It must be in the range 0x60 
                  to 0x80 (including 0x60 and 0x80). The default value 
                  is 0x60.
                  The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 
                  (so don't load the packet driver there!)

               7. [packet_int_no] must be specified after [-u] when unloading 
                  the packet driver.


Example:

The following command line loads the Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h.

   RL100APD 0x60   


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.

To unload the packet driver
    The example below assumed pkt_int_no = 0x60

    e.g. C:\> RL100PD -u 0x60
