A) Install Generic Vendor drivers for LANtastic 5.0
======================================================================

  LANtastic 5.0 can support following driver: NDIS driver


Using NDIS driver
-----------------
  For NDIS driver, Generic Vendor provides the 
  "GFC2208.DOS" driver for GFC2208 PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter.  You 
  can use "GFC2208.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which is the
  NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.

  Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS

    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\GFC2208.DOS -----> By Generic Vendor


  Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

    C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=GFC2208_NIF
    C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
    C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName


  Example  -----  PROTOCOL.INI

    [PROTMAN]
       DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
       DYNAMIC = YES

    [GFC2208_NIF]
       DRIVERNAME = GF2208$

  Comments:
    If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND
    option on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT,
    and you need to run NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.


B) Install Generic Vendor drivers for LANtastic 6.0
======================================================================

  LANtastic 6.0 can support following driver: NDIS driver


Using NDIS driver
-----------------

  To install Generic Vendor's NDIS driver "GFC2208.DOS",
  you can use the LANtastic 6.0  install program, and select "NDIS support
  for network adapters" then insert Generic Vendor's 
  GFC2208 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter driver diskette, and type path 
  "A:\NDIS\DOS". The Install program will search for "GFC2208.DOS" and 
  "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these two files to the target directory.

  If you already installed LANtastic 6.0 and need to install
  Generic Vendor's PCI Ethernet Adapter, just replace
  AEXNDIS.DOS with Generic Vendor's NDIS driver 
  "GFC2208.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS

  "GFC2208.DOS"; an NDIS driver which supported by Generic Vendor
  "AEXNDIS.DOS"; an NDIS driver which supported by ARTISOFT


  Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS

    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\GFC2208.DOS -------> By Generic Vendor


  Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

    @echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
    SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
    PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
    SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET

    rem Please obtain the NETBEUI.EXE program from Microsoft

    REDIR THOMAS @STARTNET.CFG

    SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
    NET LOGIN \\THOMAS
    @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====


  Example  -----  Protocol.ini

    [PROTMAN]
      Priority=NETBEUI
      DriverName = PROTMAN$
      Dynamic = Yes

    [NETBEUI_XIF]
      DriverName = netbeui$
      Sessions = 6
      NCBS = 12
      Bindings = GFC2208_NIF
      LANABASE = 1
