The LanModem NDIS driver programs included in the driver
diskette. These driver programs comply with Microsoft's NDIS v2.0.1
specification. The following text files describe the installation
procedure for some of the most popular operating systems supporting
NDIS drivers:

This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all NDIS device
drivers. Most of the keywords are optional and come with their respective
default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates where the keyword
applies.
IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the I/O base address used by the
adapter. This value must match the actual address setting on
the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default
value will be put into effect.
INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the
adapter. This value must match the actual IRQ setting on
the adapter. If this keyword is not specified, the default
value will be put into effect.
DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the driver name for the adapter.
NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (in hex) used by the
adapter. This option is used only to override the node
address stored in the adapter. With this keyword specified,
the specified address will be used instead of the adapter's
actual node address.
