Installation:
=============

  Packet Driver Installation:
  ---------------------------
    1. Copy the Packet driver to your harddisk, suppose you copy it to
       C:\PKTDRV directory.
       EX: copy  a:\pktdrv\mx32pd.com  c:\pktdrv\mx32pd.com

    2. Add the following line to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
           C:\PKTDRV\MX32PD 0x60

  Notes:
  ------
    MX32PD syntax:

    MX32PD [-i] [-d] [-n] [-w] [-p] [-h] [-l] [-f] [-u] <PD_INT_NO>

    where:
        [-i]   The "-i" option forces driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3
               instead of Ethernet II.

        [-d]   The "-d" option does not start LAN card until this driver is
               called by the higher layer programs first.

        [-n]   Your  NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL
               workstation uses  NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option
               to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into  NOVELL ISO-like packets.

        [-w]   Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under
               Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution,
               which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows.
               This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch.

        [-p]   The "-p" option is used to disable promiscuous mode.

        [-h]   The "-h" option is used to select the 100Mbps line speed.

        [-l]   The "-l" option is used to select the 10Mbps line speed.

        [-f]   The "-f" option is used to select the full deuplex mode.
               (note: The option must be used with -h or -l option)

        [-u]   This option unloads the Packet Driver.

        <PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where
                    you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the
                    range 0x60 to 0x80.

Notice !!
        The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so
        don't load the packet driver there!)

Example:
========
The following command line loads the Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h.

        MX32PD 0x60

Note: The default transmission speed is NWAY auto-detection.
Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.

After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE.
The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications.

To run PC/TCP applications, You need to load PC/TCP Kernel ("ETHDRV.EXE").

    a. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference
       section, Chapter 2.3.
    b. The following example will load the Kernel and
       allocate 8 packet buffers.  Increasing the
       # of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents
       dropping packets due to a buffer shortage.

        ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter>

    c. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications
       (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet').
       example ftp 130.172.24.101 , 130.172.24.101  is host address.
       Regard to host address , you must know its address.

       Software for DOS" packages, please

How to Communicate with NCSA TelNet
===================================
    1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet
       for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support
       the packet driver interface.

    2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please
       refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions.

    3. Load Packet Driver (MX32PD 0x60):

       a. Refer to "Packet Driver Syntax" section above.
       b. To view the hint screen, type

          MX32PD -h <Enter>

       c. The following example will load the packet driver
          using interrupt vector 60 (hex).  The IO_BASE
          and IRQ will be read from adapter configuraion space:

          MX32PD 0x60   <Enter>

    4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications
       (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet', etc.)
       for example : ftp 192.72.24.202 , 192.72.24.202  is host address.
