General Instructions:
---------------------

1  Using the NDIS driver with LANtastic 5.0 requires getting the NDIS
   support module from Artisoft. As of 09/05/95, Artisoft's Bulletin
   Board number is 602-884-9675 and the filename to download is
   AINDIS.EXE

2  Insert the LANtastic/AI disk 1 into the floppy drive and run INSTALL.

3  The LANtastic installation screen appears and prompts you for your
   configuration. Choose "Other NETBIOS Compatible Network Adapter" for
   Network Adapter installed.

4  After the install is complete, LANtastic tells you to modify your
   STARTNET.BAT to add the line for your network adapter driver.

   Do not modify STARTNET.BAT yet. Wait until you have installed the AI-
   NDIS support in the next step.

5  To install the AI-NDIS portion, insert the LANtastic AI-NDIS Support
   disk and run INSTALL.

6  The AI-NDIS Installation screen appears and prompts you to select
   Installation Options. Choose "LANtastic NDIS for Other Network
   Adapters".

7  When prompted for the manufacturer's diskette, insert the Intel
   Configuration and Drivers disk. You do not need to specify a
   directory. The install program will read the necessary files from the
   diskette and copy them over to your LANtastic subdirectory.

8  The AI-NDIS install modifies your CONFIG.SYS and creates a file called
   PROTOCOL.INI in the LANtastic subdirectory. The list at the top of
   this document is a sample of each.

9  Modify the STARTNET.BAT file that INSTALL created in the LANtastic
   directory. This batch file needs to be modified for the AI- NDIS
   support. You need to add a line to it calling the STRTNDIS.BAT batch
   file. See the sample file above.
