1.0 System Requirements

    This kit supports the Windows 95, 98, and NT V3.51 or later 
    operating systems. If using Windows NT 4.0, you also need 
    Service Pack 4 or later.

    This kit will work with various versions of the RoamAbout PC 
    Card. However, earlier versions of the PC Card do not support 
    WEP Encryption and cannot be upgraded to support encryption.

    To determine if the RoamAbout PC Card supports encryption, check 
    for one or both of the following:
    - Check for a sticker on the back of the PC Card that states 
      support for 40-bit encryption. 

    - Run the Client Utility. Click Diagnose Card, then select the 
      Version Info tab. Check the Card Type field for the text, 
      WEP Support.

    For MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 systems, you need the RoamAbout MS-DOS 
    Driver kit.

*******************************************************************
2.0 New Installation

    For a new installation, install the RoamAbout NDIS driver as you
    would any other device driver. The RoamAbout IEEE DS/PC Card and 
    ISA Adapter Card User's Guide provides the installation and 
    configuration procedure.

    For Windows NT systems, you need to perform additional steps:

    1. If you installed an ISA Adapter, you need to manually start up
       PCMCIA under Devices by selecting Startup then selecting Boot.

    2. Open the PC Card icon in the Control Panel and double-click 
       one of the PC Card sockets to enable it.

    3. Run the Windows NT Diagnostics program to verify that the PC 
       Card default I/O port (0400-043F) and IRQ (10) are not used by 
       another device. Be aware that not all devices report their 
       I/O port or IRQ settings to the operating system. Therefore, 
       you could choose an unused value that is really being used. 

    4. Open the Control Panel and open Network. You are prompted if 
       no network protocols are installed; otherwise, select the 
       Adapters tab and click Add.

    The RoamAbout IEEE DS/PC Card and ISA Adapter Card User's Guide
    provides details for each of these steps.

3.0 Upgrading the RoamAbout NDIS Driver 

    If you have a previous version of the RoamAbout NDIS driver, 
    you can upgrade your driver as follows.

3.1 Windows 95 and Windows 98

    1. Go to the My Computer icon and click on the right mouse button.
    2. Select Properties from the menu.
    3. In the Device Manager, click Network Adapters (+).

    5. In the Driver window, click the Update Driver button.
    6. Follow the Installation Wizard guidelines.

    The Update Driver button is not available on early versions of
    Windows 95. Instead, you need to use the Remove Driver button in 
    the Device Manager window, then manually remove all the driver 
    files BEFORE restarting your computer. See the RoamAbout IEEE 
    DS/PC Card and ISA Adapter Card User's Guide for details.
 
3.2 Windows NT

    1. Open the Control Panel and double-click Network.
    2. Select the Adapters tab.
    3. Select RoamAbout Adapter and click Update.
    4. Follow the instructions as they appear on your screen.

4.0 Installing the RoamAbout Client Utility

    Install the companion RoamAbout Driver, provided on the 
    same diskette, before installing the Client Utility. 

    If your computer does not have the correct driver installed,
    the RoamAbout Client utility does not work. Instead, you 
    will see a DRIVER NOT FOUND or similar error message.
 
    To install the client utility, run the Setup program in the 
    Util folder on the diskette.

    The following files are installed during setup:

    RMABT_CL.EXE  (RoamAbout Client Utility Executable)
    RMABT_CL.HLP  (RoamAbout Client Utility Help File)
    RMABT_CL.CNT  (RoamAbout Client Utility Help Contents File)

*******************************************************************

    -  RoamAbout NDIS Miniport Driver V4.0
    -  RoamAbout Client Utility V4.02

    Version 4.0 introduces WEP data encryption and enhanced online
