    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 adapter is working properly.
    Getting Started will describe the installation instructions.

 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     A PCI compatible computer
     An ODI compatible network operating system
     A PCI Family Series Adapter

    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 DLKPCI.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 DLKPCI.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
        >DLKPCI         ; 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 Client disks from the network administrator

     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 your 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 DLKPCI
              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 Novell
      DLKPCI                 -- Hardware Specific Module
      IPXODI                 -- IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
      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.
