A) Install Linksys drivers for LANtastic 5.0
======================================================================

Using NDIS driver
-----------------
For NDIS driver, Linksys LNE100TX(v5) driver disk provides the
"LNE100.DOS" driver for Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter.
You can use "LNE100.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\LNE100.DOS -----> By Linksys
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=LNE100_NIF
C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName
Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES
[LNE100_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = LNE100$
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) Install Linksys drivers for LANtastic 6.0
======================================================================
LANtastic 6.0 can support following driver: NDIS driver
Using NDIS driver
-----------------
To install Linksys's NDIS driver "LNE100.DOS",
you can use the LANtastic 6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support
for network adapters" then insert Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter
driver diskette, and type path "A:\NDIS\DOS". The Install
program will search for "LNE100.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these
two files to the target directory.
If you already installed LANtastic 6.0 and need to install
Linksys's PCI Ethernet Adapter, just replace
AEXNDIS.DOS with Linksys's NDIS driver
"LNE100.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS
"LNE100.DOS"; an NDIS driver which supported by Linksys
