Introduction:
=============

  The Packet Driver for DOS workstations confirms to the PC/TCP version 1.09
  Packet driver specification. This document shows you how to setup the driver
  and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords in
  configuration file.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    PCIPKT.COM          The Packet driver for DOS workstations.
    PACKET.TXT          This file.



Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
  (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.

  Installation Packet Driver:
  ---------------------------------------------------------
    1) Copy the Packet driver to your HardDisk, suppose you copy it to
       C:\PACKET directory.
       EX: copy  a:\packet\pcipkt.com  c:\packet\pcipkt.com

    2) Add the following line to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
           C:\PACKET\PCIPKT -W 0x60 5 0x300


  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to use
      the parameter, -p after PCIPKT in AUTOEXEC.BAT file to let driver locate
      the right adapter. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE under DOS prompt to show all
      the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.


Configuration Files:
====================

    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------
    (Suppose PACKET driver is copied to C:\PACKET directory)

    File Name:          C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
    ----------
        C:\PACKET\PCIPKT -p003004123456  -r  -t  -n  -w  0x60   5   0x300

      0x60 is software vector number this driver uses.
      -n means Novell packets can be transmitted across this driver
      -w means Window compatible.
      5  is IRQ value
      0x300 is IOBASE value
      -p, -r, -t is explained below

    Custom Parameters:
    ----------------
        -phhhhhhhhhhhh                  This parameter is the Ethernet Address
                                        of the adapter you want to drive. If
                                        there are more than one ethernet adapter
                                        in your system, you have to use this
                                        keyword to let driver locate the right
                                        adapter. However, you don't have to use
                                        this property or let the value to be
                                        zero (i.e. -p0) if there is only one
                                        adapter in your system.

        -t                              This parameter is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        transmission.

        -r                             This parameter is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        receiption.

        -f                              This parameter is used to enable full
                                        duplex mode.

       Note: For PCI mode adapter, you don't have to define IRQ and IOBASE value
             as PCIPKT parameters, driver will ignore these values.
