The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks
and install up to two network adapters in a workstation. This ODI
driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame
options for creating your own NET.CFG file. For more information
on these keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI shell for
DOS - NET.CFG options". This installation assumes that the PCMCIA
drivers are working properly.
