********************************************
* ICRACK VIRUS DETECTION REPORTED ON SWEEP *
********************************************

SWEEP 2.99 (July 1997 release) reports a false positive identification
of 'Icrack' virus for the dllde500.exe driver (and many other files
not on this diskette).  The fix is to create ICRACK.IDE text file in 
the same directory as SWEEP and using a text editor place the following 
text into it:

--- cut here ---
0eab 1ab0 9a6b 9e5c d0ab 1afb f9ad 12 6a
--- cut here ---

When sweep is next started, it will 'learn' the new identity and not
report the false positive.  ICRACK.IDE works on all SWEEP platforms.
The false positive will be fixed in SWEEP 3.00 (August 1997 release)
when it will not be necessary any more to use ICRACK.IDE.


****************************************
* GENERAL PATHWORKS DRIVER INFORMATION *
****************************************

There are currently two driver types for the EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 
10/100 adapter (DE500-XA, DE500-AA, DE500-BA and DE500-FA) supplied 
on this diskette that are compatible with PATHWORKS.

The NDIS2 driver, which is written to the industry standard NDIS 
2.0.1, can be used.  This driver, and installation instructions for 
it, can be found in the NDIS2 subdirectory of this diskette.

The PATHWORKS native DLL driver, DLLDE500.EXE, is found in this
subdirectory.  The installation instructions are found in this
README.TXT.

*******************************************
* PATHWORKS NATIVE DLL DRIVER INFORMATION *
*******************************************

1.) Requires PATHWORKS V4.1 or greater.  Earlier version are not
    supported.

2.) Requires DNNETH.EXE to be V4.1.142 or greater (users with 
    previous versions of DNNETH.EXE will experience hangs when 
    connecting to network drives).

3.) Connecting to a PC that is running PERMIT requires the DECnet 
    address of the PC running PERMIT to be defined with MS-NET on 
    the PC that is attempting to establish a connection. Use the 
    NCP program to define the MS-NET parameter.

4.) PATHWORKS 4.1 users can automate the native datalink driver 
    installation by running NETSETUP.  Choose "EtherWORKS Native 
    Datalink" as the Ethernet Adapter type.  After NETSETUP 
    finishes, change the following line in STARTNET.BAT:

	%BOOT%\decnet\dlldepca.exe
		to
	%BOOT%\decnet\dllde500.exe


    Once this change is complete copy the DLLDE500.EXE driver from 
    the \PATHWRKS directory of this diskette to the \DECNET 
    directory on your hard drive.

5.) PATHWORKS 5.0 users should run PWSETUP from the PATHWORKS 
    server service directory.

     -  When prompted for the "Network Adapter Information", choose 
	'Native' from the top=left menu window, then select 
	'<Other Network Adapter>' from the network adapter menu.

     -  Enter 'A:\PATHWRKS\DLLDE500.EXE' for the 'Driver Name' 
	prompt.

     All the other procedures are same as EtherWORKS products.

6.) When running multiple protocols (LAT, LAD, etc.) with the 
    native datalink driver, make sure DECnet (DNNETH.EXE) is always 
    installed first.


7.) When loading the driver, the following command line switches 
    may be used:

    /I:path         Configure DECnet path.


  for DE500-BA:
    /MEDIA:0        Auto detect the Medium port (Default)
    /MEDIA:1        Force Medium port  10 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MEDIA:2        Force Medium port 100 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MEDIA:3        Force Medium port  10 Mbps & full duplex mode
    /MEDIA:4        Force Medium port 100 Mbps & full duplex mode

    /NWAY:0         Disable the auto-negotiation ability   
    /NWAY:1         Enable the auto-negotiation ability (Default)  

    /STORE_AND_FORWARD:0   (Default)
		    Don't set the adapter to the store and forward mode
    /STORE_AND_FORWARD:1
		    Set the adapter to the store and forward mode

    /TX_THRESHOLD:0,1,2,3,4 (Default: 3)
		    Set the transmit threshold value if the store and 
		    forward mode is disabled

    /BURST_SIZE:0,1,2,4,8,16,32 (Default: 8)
		    PCI burst size

    /PCI_CARD:N     Used to sepecify which network card the driver should use
		    (Default: 1)

  for DE500-FA:
    /MEDIA:2        Force Medium port 100 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MEDIA:4        Force Medium port 100 Mbps & full duplex mode

    /STORE_AND_FORWARD:0   (Default)
		    Don't set the adapter to the store and forward mode
    /STORE_AND_FORWARD:1
		    Set the adapter to the store and forward mode

    /TX_THRESHOLD:0,1,2,3,4 (Default: 3)
		    Set the transmit threshold value if the store and 
		    forward mode is disabled

    /BURST_SIZE:0,1,2,4,8,16,32 (Default: 8)
		    PCI burst size

    /PCI_CARD:N     Used to sepecify which network card the driver should use
		    (Default: 1)

  for DE500-AA:
    /MODE:4         Force Medium port to MII_10M, 
			10 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MODE:5         Force Medium port to MII_100M, 
			100 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MODE:6         Force Medium port to MII_10M_FDX, 
			10 Mbps & full duplex mode
    /MODE:7         Force Medium port to MII_100M_FDX, 
			100 Mbps & full duplex mode

  for DE500-XA:
    /MODE:1         Force Medium port to SIA_TP, 
			10 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MODE:8         Force Medium port to SYM_100M, 
			100 Mbps & half duplex mode
    /MODE:9         Force Medium port to SIA_TP_FDX, 
			10 Mbps & full duplex mode
    /MODE:10        Force Medium port to SYM_100M_FDX, 
			100 Mbps & half duplex mode

    
    If not specified, the medium port is autosensed.

    An example command line load (from the c:\> prompt) would be as 
    follows:

	C:\> DLLDE500.EXE /MEDIA:4 /I C:\DECNET

    The native driver may be loaded without any command line 
    parameters.  In this case, the driver will auto-detect the 
    adapter medium.
