AMD PCNet-ISA Novell Drivers 
----------------------------

This file contains the description of the AMD's Novell drivers for PCNet-ISA
chip. The Novell drivers contained in this file are the Server (3.x and 4.x)
driver, the DOS client driver and the Remote BootROM hex file.

The description of various files are as follows:

am1500t.lan - Novell Server Driver for 3.1x and 4.0 servers
am1500t.com - Novell DOS ODI client driver
rboot.hex - Novell boot ROM in Intel Hex Format
lslenh.nlm - Enhanced LSL needed for 3.1x server
msm31x.nlm - MSM module needed for 3.1x server
ethertsm.nlm - TSM module needed for 3.1x server
monitor.nlm - New monitor program needed for 3.1x server
patchman.nlm - A patch driver which is auto loaded by lslenh.nlm
readme.txt - Readme file explaining the contents of the disk

Installation in a 4.x driver
--------------------------
In a Novell 4.x system, use the following command line to load the driver:
load am1500t.lan

Installation in a 3.1X system
-----------------------------
In a Novell 3.1x system, use the following command lines to load the driver:
load lslenh.nlm
load msm31x.nlm
load ethertsm.nlm
load am1500t.lan
load monitor.nlm

The monitor program which is shipped with the orignal 3.1x system has a bug 
in it and will crask the server.

The bind statement for the new server driver is:
bind ipx to am1500t

License Note
------------
If you have purchased a $2995 license package from AMD (DESIGN-AT-KT/2T or 
DESIGN-AT-KT/2 products), then you have the object code distribution 
rights for all AMD drivers (NDIS 2.0.1, SCO UNIX, NDIS 3.0, Packet driver,
Artisoft Lantastic & this specific Novell driver.)

You may still choose to certify this driver with Novell. However, the Novell
certification is NOT REQUIRED for you to distribute these drivers. If you
have not purchased the $2995 license package then you can use these drivers 
forinternal evaluation. Without the license package you do not have any 
distribution rights.

Please note that there is an equivalent set of Novell drivers for the 
PCNet-ISA device (not included here) which were written by and are owned by
Novell. These drivers are almost identical in function and performance to the
drivers listed above and provided by AMD. If you wish to receive distribution
rights for the Novell owned drivers you must obtain Novell drivers directly
from Novell and certify your design with Novell.
