  Introduction
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
       The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks
       and install up to two network adapters in a workstation. This ODI
       driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame
       options for creating your own NET.CFG file. For more information
       on these keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI shell for
       DOS - NET.CFG options". This installation assumes that the PCMCIA
       drivers are working properly.

  Getting Started
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
       There are two methods, manual installation (for NW 3.11 wks) and
       Novell Client install (for NW 3.12 & 4.x)

       Manual Installation
       ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
       Copy the LMODI.COM file from this diskette into the Netware
        client directory containing Novell's LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and
        NETx.COM files.

       Follow Novell's instructions on using ODI programs. You can
        substitute the LMODI.COM whenever a reference is made to the
        Hardware Specific Module.

       A typical ODI workstation startup batch file includes:

        >LSL           ; Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
        >LMODI         ; Hardware Specific Module
        >IPXODI        ; IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
        >NETx          ; DOS Shell Support Module provided by Novell
        >LOGIN

       Novell Client Installation
       ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
       Run the NetWare Client Install v1.21

            -Get the 4 Client disks from the network administrator
            or
            -Run the \NWCLIENT\INSTALL.EXE in a previous installation

       A message appears on the screen asking you whether or not you
        want the program to perform modifications on your AUTOEXEC.BAT
        and CONFIG.SYS files.

       Answer "Yes".  The program then modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
        CONFIG.SYS files accordingly and creates backup copies.

       The following message appears:
          -Install support for MS Windows? (Y/N):

       Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

       The program displays the following:
           -Configure the workstation for backup by a NetWare server
            running software such as SBACKUP? (Y/N): No

       Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

       Select a driver for your network board.

       From the driver list, select "Other Drivers".

       Go to the Insert the Driver Disk dialog box and specify the path
            where the ODI driver and INS files reside.

            For example:  C:\ODI.DOS.

       Press Enter and select the target ODI driver.

       Specify the driver's optional settings.

       Press F10 to save to new configuration.

       Highlight "Install press here" and press <Enter> to install.

       The program copies the necessary files for NetWare Client.
       Continue the installation procedure to completion. Upon
       completion, a new NET.CFG file will be created in your DOS
       directory.  Typically, this file contains the following lines:

           Link Driver LMODI
               PORT  320
               INT   11
               #FRAME Ethernet_802.3
               FRAME Ethernet_802.2
                   :

           An ordinary startnet.bat for the ODI workstation performs the
           following:

           SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH  --Set NetWare 4.X to English language
           LSL                     --Link Support Layer Module provided by Nvl
           LMODI                   --Hardware Specific Module
           IPXODI                  --IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Nvl
           VLM                     --DOS Support Module provided by Novell
           F:                      --Change to connected device
           LOGIN .ADMIN            --Login to file server as user ADMIN

       Run STARTNET to access the Novell network.
