This document describes how to configure the LAN+Modem card
for use with Windows version 3.1x and Novell NetWare. These
procedures are also described in the LAN+Modem card User
Guide.
NOTE: The following instructions assume you have not installed
another network adapter in the PC. If another networking
adapter has already been installed, these instructions will
not apply or appear accurate. Consult with your MIS
department or System Administer for further instructions.
Before installing the network driver, you should know the
transport used in the Novell Network (typically IPX/SPX) and
have access to the following software components:
- Novell NetWare VLM Client disks for DOS and Windows
- The Installation Disk #2 that came with your LAN+Modem card.

exit Windows to return to the DOS prompt.
