      1. Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:

         DRIVERNAME: This is the one required parameter. See example
                     at top of this document for syntax.

         AdapterID : This  keyword is provided  by ALN201, and is
                     required when  more  than  one  ALN201  adapters
                     exist on one system. You must modify the AdapterID
                     value in file, \LANMAN\PROTOCOL.INI, by yourself.

      2. Sample PROTOCOL.INI for LAN Manager:

           [PROTMAN]
           DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
           DYNAMIC = YES
           PRIORITY = NETBEUI

           [NETBEUI_XIF]
           Drivername = netbeui$
           SESSIONS = 6
           NCBS = 12
           BINDINGS = "ALN201_NIF"
           LANABASE = 0

           [ALN201_NIF]
           ;
           ; ALN201 PROTOCOL.INI Sample Adapter
           ;
           DriverName = ALN201$
           AdapterID  = @0000E2000047

      3. The AdapterID is the Ethernet Address of the ALN-201
         Ethernet card. You can find the value by running
         ACERSET.EXE -- the View Current Configuration\Ethernet
         Address item in DOS environment.
