Filename Description

LSL.COM This file implements the Link Support
Layer for DOS ODI workstations
and is the program that is generally
loaded first when booting. The Link
Support Layer file enables the
workstation to communicate over
several protocols.
IPXODI.COM This is Novell's protocol stack for
DOS ODI workstations. It performs
the same functions as the IPX.COM, which
is used for DOS workstations. However
it is optional and is loaded after the
LAN driver. Other protocols can be loaded
in its place or with it. This is one
of the key features of the ODI
environment.
