Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
PCNFS.TXT This file.
FETND.DOS The NDIS2 driver for PCNFS.
PROTOCOL.INI Sample protocol.ini file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.

3) Choose NE2000 network adapter and select "NDIS" and press <Enter>.
4) Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation.
5) Two subdirectory will be created after installation, default in C:\NFS
and C:\LANMAN.
6) Copy A:\PCNFS\FETND.DOS to C:\NFS.
7) Edit CONFIG.SYS to replace the line
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\NE2000.DOS
with
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\FETND.DOS
8) Edit PROTOCOL.INI file in C:\LANMAN directory, add the following section
[FETND_NIF]
Drivername = FETND$
9) Find [NFS-NDIS] section in PROTOCOL.INI file in C:\LANMAN directory, add
