A.) Installation procedure for LANtastic 5.0
============================================
LANtastic 5.0 can support following driver: NDIS driver

Using NDIS driver:
------------------
For NDIS driver, there is the "MXNICF.DOS" driver for the Ethernet adapter.  
You can use "MXNICF.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which is the NDIS driver
offered by ARTISOFT.

  Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
   DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\MXNICF.DOS      

  Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
   C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=MXNICF_NIF
   C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
   C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName

  Example  -----  PROTOCOL.INI
   [PROTMAN]
     DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
     DYNAMIC = YES

   [MXNICF_NIF]
     DRIVERNAME = MXNICF$
   ;;Range:0-7
   ;;Usage:"Board=nn"
   ;;-------------------------------------
   ;;Board=0
   ;;Option:NWAY,TX10,TX10FD,TX100,TX100FD  	
   ;;FD->Full Duplex
   ;;Usage:"MEDIA_TYPE=XXX"
   ;;-------------------------------------
   ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY

   Note: If you request 10Mbps Full Duplex mode, please change the statement
         ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY which inside PROTOCOL.INI as 
         ;;MEDIA_TYPE=TX10FD and delete its semi-colon. Please change 
	   corresponding option for another mode.

   Comments:
         If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option on
         the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you need to run
         NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.


B.) Installation procedure for LANtastic 6.0
============================================
LANtastic 6.0 can support following driver: NDIS driver

Using NDIS driver:
------------------
To install PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapter NDIS driver
"MXNICF.DOS", you can use the LANtastic 6.0 install program, select "NDIS
support for network adapters", insert the driver diskette, and type path
"A:\NDIS20\DOS". The Install program will search for "MXNICF.DOS" and 
"PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these two files to the target directory.

If you already installed LANtastic 6.0 and need to install the PCI Ethernet
Adapter, replace AEXNDIS.DOS with the NDIS driver "MXNICF.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS as
below.

 "MXNICF.DOS"  is an NDIS driver of the adapter card
 "AEXNDIS.DOS" is an NDIS driver which supported by ARTISOFT

 Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS
  DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
  DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\MXNICF.DOS        

 Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
  @echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
  SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
  PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
  SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET

  rem Please obtain the NETBEUI.EXE program from Microsoft
  NETBEUI
  AI-NDIS BIND_TO=AEXNDIS_NIF
  AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
  REDIR THOMAS @STARTNET.CFG

  SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
  NET LOGIN \\THOMAS
  @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====

  Example  -----  PROTOCOL.INI
   [PROTMAN]
   Priority=NETBEUI
   DriverName = PROTMAN$
   Dynamic = Yes

  [NETBEUI_XIF]
   DriverName = netbeui$
   Sessions = 6
   NCBS = 12
   Bindings = MXNICF_NIF
   LANABASE = 1
    
  [MXNICF_NIF]
   DRIVERNAME = MXNICF$
   ;;Range:0-7
   ;;Usage:"Board=nn"
   ;;-------------------------------------
   ;;Board=0
   ;;Option:NWAY,TX10,TX10FD,TX100,TX100FD  	
   ;;FD->Full Duplex
   ;;Usage:"MEDIA_TYPE=XXX"
   ;;-------------------------------------
   ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY

   Note: If you request 10Mbps Full Duplex mode, please change the statement
         ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY which inside PROTOCOL.INI as 
         ;;MEDIA_TYPE=TX10FD and delete its semi-colon. Please change 
	 corresponding option for another mode.


C.) Installation procedure for LANtastic 7.0
============================================

  1. Run LANtastic INSTALL program to install Lantastic and prepare to answer
