This README file is for the Novell DOS ODI Client driver for Digital 
Equipment Corporation's EtherWORKS Turbo EISA DE425 Ethernet Adapters.

The name of the Novell Netware DOS Driver is DC21040.COM.

DE425 EISA board installation
----------------------------

To install the DE425 EISA Ethernet board in a EISA system, plug the EISA board 
in your system.

NOTE:
	  
	- Enable selected EISA slot using the 
	  appropriate ECU utility for your machine.
	- Select interrupt to the selected EISA slot using the appropriate 
	  !DEC4250.CFG contained in the root directory of this floppy.
	- Enter the EISA CONFIG menu ON your machine to:
	  o Enable the DE425 in a EISA slot.
	  o Enable the I/O on the DE425 EISA slot. 
	  o Define the interrupt number on the DE425 EISA slot.

The default cable type selection is twisted-pair (TP).  To connect to a 
ThinWire (BNC) or Thickwire (15-pin D-sub) network, select AUI.  Be sure to 
check the shunt jumper on the board to select either ThinWire or Thickwire.
See the DE425 Owners Manual for more information.

Once the card is installed, proceed to the "DC21040.COM installation" section 
of this README.TXT file.

DC21040.COM installation
-----------------------
To install the DC21040 Ethernet driver as part of a Novell NOVELL DOS client:

NOTE: These instructions are for systems that already have the NETWARE  
      Client installed.  If the NETWARE Client is not installed, follow
      the directions on your NETWARE Client diskette.

    1. Find the NETWARE Client directory (NWCLIENT is a commonly used 
       directory name) and copy the following files to the directory:

	DC21040.COM
	NET.CFG

       These files are located in the A:\NOVELL\CLIENT directory of the
       DE425 software diskette.
    
    2. Edit the NET.CFG file and check that the cable type setting is 
       according to your needs (change it if necessary).  The default is TP.
       
	NOTICE: 
	
	       A. If specifying a slot number, note that the EISA slots are
		  counted from 1 to 15; PCI slots are counted from 16. 
	       B. The first DE425 EISA board installed in the machine is
		  treated as if it is installed in slot 16. The next one will 
		  be in slot 17, etc.  See your system documentation for the
		  EISA slot assignments.

    3. To connect to a Netware 3.1X server, execute the following commands 
       from the DOS prompt:
 
	LSL
	DC21040
	IPXODI
	NETX    (or VLM)
	LOGIN   {Server Name}

       To connect to a Netware 4.0 server, execute the following commands 
       from the DOS prompt:

	LSL
	DC21040
	IPXODI
	VLM     (or NETX)
	LOGIN   {Server Name}
