1. Introduction

   The Ethernet Adapter Packet Driver conforms to FTP Software public domain
   packet driver specification revision 1.09 (Sep. 15, 1989).  This driver
   supports many network applications. including FTP Software PC/TCP, NCSA
   TCP/IP, Wollongong Pathway Access and NetWare for DOS Workstation.


2. Contents of the Subdirectory

      ETHPK.COM       Packet Driver for the Ethernet Adapters.


3. Installation

   1) Install the Ethernet Adapter on your PC system, following the proce-
      dure in your Ethernet adapter installation manual.

   2) Install your network applications.

   3) Copy "ETHPK.COM" to the subdirectory created while installing your
      network applications.

   4) Follow the instructions given in your network application menu to alter
      your system configuration file, then reboot the PC.

   5) At the DOS prompt, type as follows to load ETHPK:

          ETHPK  Packet_Int [IRQ_NO] [IO_BASE]

      where:

          Packet_Int   The software interrupt number.  The range is from
                       0X60 to 0X80 (Hex).  This is a compulsory parameter.

          IRQ_NO       The network adapter interrupt request line. The range
                       is from 2 to 15 and the default is 3.  This is op-
                       tional.

          IO_BASE      The I/O port address of the network adapter. The pos-
                       sible settings are : 0x240, 0x280, 0x2C0, 0x300,
                       0x320, 0X340, and 0X360. The default is 0x300.  This
                       is optional.


4. Unload

   To remove the packet driver from the main memory, run ETHPK with '-u' at
   the DOS prompt, as shown below:

            ETHPK -u <Packet_Int>

   where:

          Packet_Int     The software interrupt number specified during in-
                         stallation.  This is a compulsory parameter.
