 ==============================
 INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC 5.0
 ==============================

 SMC's NDIS driver \NDIS\DOS\SMC1208.DOS may be used in place of
 AEXNDIS.DOS, the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.


 Sample Configuration Files for 5.0
 ----------------------------------

 AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

    C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=SMC1208_NIF
    C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
    C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName


 CONFIG.SYS

    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
    DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\SMC1208.DOS   --->  NDIS driver for SMC SMC1208


 PROTOCOL.INI

    [PROTMAN]
    DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
    DYNAMIC = YES

    [SMC1208_NIF]
    DRIVERNAME = SMC1208$

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


 ==============================
 INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC 6.0
 ==============================

 Two alternative methods:

 A. Using the LANtastic 6.0 Install Program
 ------------------------------------------

 NOTE:  This method is required if LANtastic 6.0 has not yet been
        installed.

 1. Start the LANtastic 6.0 Install program.


 2. Select "NDIS support for network adapters."


 3. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette for SMC's EZ Card 10 PCI cards and enter
    the path "A:\LANTASTI" (for floppy drive A).  The Install program 
    searches for SMC1208.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI (which are in \NDIS\DOS and
    \LANTASTI, respectively) and copies the files to the target
    directory.


 B. Using Manual Installation
 ----------------------------

 NOTE:  This method can be used if LANtastic 6.0 has been already
        installed.

 1. Replace the old NDIS 2 driver (xxx.DOS) with the NDIS 2 driver for
    SMC's EZ Card 10 PCI cards -- \NDIS\DOS\SMC1208.DOS


 2. Edit CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI as indicated below.


    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=SMC1208_NIF
       AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
       REDIR (login name) @STARTNET.CFG

       SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
       NET LOGIN \\(login name)
       @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====


    CONFIG.SYS

       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\SMC1208.DOS   --->  NDIS driver for SMC1208 models


    PROTOCOL.INI

       [PROTMAN]
       Priority=NETBEUI
       DriverName = PROTMAN$
       Dynamic = Yes

       [NETBEUI_XIF]
       DriverName = netbeui$
       Sessions = 6
       NCBS = 12
       Bindings = SMC1208_NIF
       LANABASE = 1

       [SMC1208_NIF]
       DriverName = SMC1208$
