This file describes how to install Artisoft LANtastic 6.0
using the 3Com NDIS 2.01 driver FEM556N2.DOS.  The install
information files are designed for MicroSoft's install
utility and must be edited for LANtastic's INSTALL program.

This file includes the following topics:
 - Installing from the DOS Prompt
 - Installing from Windows
 - Changes and Additions to PC Startup Files
 - SYSTEM.INI Information


NOTE: Although the driver name is FEM556N2.DOS, the
      internal driver name (used in PROTOCOL.INI) is
      FEM556$

============================================================
Installing from the DOS Prompt
------------------------------

 1. Insert Artisoft's LANtastic Install Disk 1 of 4 
    in the diskette drive.

 2. Type:

    INSTALL

    This launches Windows and starts the installation of 
    LANtastic.

 3. Go to step 4 under the "Installing from Windows"
    procedure and continue with the remaining steps.  

============================================================
Installing from Windows
-----------------------

 1. Launch Windows, if it is not already opened.  

 2. Select Run from the Windows File menu.

 3. Type:  

    A:\INSTALL

    If you are using a different drive, use the letter for 
    that drive.

 4. Follow the instructions and answer the questions that
    appear. 

 5. Select NDIS Support for Network Adapters in the 
    Select Network Adapter window.  

 6. When prompted, remove the LANtastic diskette, insert 
    Installation Disk 2 provided with the LAN+MODEM card
    and press [Enter].  

    The NDIS driver is copied to your hard drive. 

 7. When prompted, reinsert the LANtastic Install 
    Disk 1 in the drive.

 8. Answer the questions concerning your PC name 
    and drives based on your configuration. 

 9. After installation is complete, copy FEM556N2.DOS from
    the A:\NDIS2 directory of Installation Disk 2 on
    to the directory of the hard drive where LANTASTIC
    resides (the default is \LANTASTI).

10. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the FEM556N2.DOS entry
    right after the FMENABLE.EXE driver entry, so that that
    the entries look somewhat as follows:

       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\FMENABLE.EXE
       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\FEM556N2.DOS

11. See SYSTEM.INI information below. 

============================================================
Changes and Additions to PC Startup Files
-----------------------------------------

The following lines are added or changed in these PC
startup files: 

1. In the AUTOEXEC.BAT File, call:

        c:\lantasti\startnet.bat

2. In the CONFIG.SYS File, add: 

        device=c:\lantasti\protman.dos /i:c:\lantasti
        device=c:\lantasti\fmenable.exe
        device=c:\lantasti\fem556n2.dos

3. In the PROTOCOL.INI file, add

        [PROTMAN]
          DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
          DYNAMIC = YES

        [FEM556N2_NIF]     
          DRIVERNAME = FEM556$ 

4. In the STARTNET.BAT File, add the lines: 

        C:
        cd C:\LANTASTI
        SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
        rem If LANtastic is disabled, skip everything.
        IF EXIST DISABLED GOTO :STARTNET_DONE

        @echo === Begin LANtastic configuration ===
        PATH C:\LANTASTI;C:\LANTASTI\NW;%PATH%
        SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET
        SET NWDBPATH=C:\LANTASTI\NW

        LOADHIGH AI-NDIS BIND_TO=FEM556N2_NIF

        AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG

        REDIR TOSHIBA4800CT @STARTNET.CF
                [note: this line uses the Toshiba as an example]

        IF EXIST NOSHARE GOTO :NOSHARE
        SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
        NET LOGIN \\TOSHIBA4800CT
                [note: this line uses the Toshiba as an example]
        GOTO :CONTINUE

        :NOSHARE
        @echo LANtastic server was installed but turned off.

        :CONTINUE

        rem If CONNECT.BAT exists, run it to set up connections.
        IF EXIST CONNECT.BAT GOTO :CONNECT

        rem Otherwise set up connections specified 
        rem  during install.

        NET LOGIN/wait \\ABC        ======> Just an example !!!
        NET USE D: \\ABC\C-DRIVE    ======> Just an example !!!
        NET LPT TIMEOUT 10
        GOTO :CONNECT_DONE

        :CONNECT
        @echo Setting up LANtastic connections from CONNECT.BAT
        rem Build CONNECT.BAT like this: 
        rem        "NET SHOW/BATCH > C:\LANTASTI\CONNECT.BAT"
        rem   (or run the batch file SETNET.BAT)
        call CONNECT.BAT

        :CONNECT_DONE
        NET POSTBOX

        @echo === End LANtastic configuration ===

        :STARTNET_DONE
        cd \

5. In the SYSTEM.INI File for windows, add:

        [boot]
        shell=progman.exe
