LANtastic AI 5.0 installation 

  The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on 
  the workstation and create or modify existing configuration files to fit 
  your specific needs.  The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on 
  LANtastic* Network Software Disk 1.

  LANtastic AI 5.0 can be installed using the native driver 
  (\ARTISOFT\EXP16LAN.EXE) or using the EtherExpress 16 NDIS driver 
  (\NDIS\EXP16.DOS). Below are installation steps for both installations.


  GENERAL INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC AI 5.0 
  -----------------------------------------
  Run INSTALL.EXE from the LANtastic Network Software Disk 1.
  The LANtastic Install program screen will appear. You must complete each of 
  the questions.  These options are specific to your needs.

  1. From C:\ type:  Install A:
  2. Choose "Other NETBIOS Compatible Network Adapter"  for the network driver
  3. Other changes in the install options are optional
  4. When "Other" is chosen:
	
  The EXP16LAN.EXE driver needs to be copied into the \LANTASTI directory 
  (or other directory specified by the installer - LANTASTI is the default).

  The STARTNET.BAT file needs to be updated.

  The following 2 lines need to be added after the SHARE line (it actually 
  leaves 2 blank lines):

	EXP16LAN iobase=xxx  
	AILANBIO

** The iobase information only needs to be added if the default (300) is not 
   used. These 2 files need to be run before any LANtastic redir or server 
   commands.
		
  STARTNET.BAT now looks like this:

		@echo off
		path c:\...
		SHARE /L=200
		EXP16LAN iobase=300
		AILANBIO
		redir workstation_name logins=3 ;(this is a workstation setup)
		server c:\....\lantasti.net      ;(this is a server setup)
		Net login /wait \\server_name server_name
		Net lpt timeout 10


  INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC AI 5.0  WITH  NDIS SUPPORT
  -----------------------------------------------------

  Using the NDIS driver with LANtastic 5.0 requires getting the NDIS module 
  from Artisoft*. As of 5/95, Artisoft's Bulletin Board number is 602-884-9675 
  and the file name to download is AINDIS.EXE.

  LANTASTIC/AI Installation:

  1. Insert LANtastic/AI disk 1 into the floppy drive and run install:
			
			a:\install.exe

  2. The LANtastic installation screen prompts you for your 
     configuration. Choose "Other NETBIOS Compatible Network Adapter" for 
     Network Adapter installed.

  3. After the install is complete, LANtastic will tell you to modify your 
     STARTNET.BAT to add the line for your network adapter driver.  Do not 
     modify the STARTNET.BAT yet. Wait until you have installed the AI-NDIS 
     support in the next step.

  AI-NDIS Installation:

  4. Insert the LANtastic AI-NDIS Support diskette and run install.
			
			a:\install.exe

  5. The AI-NDIS Installation screen prompts you to select 
     installation Options. Choose:   
 
      "LANtastic NDIS for Other Network Adapters".

  6. When prompted for the manufacturer's diskette, insert the Intel 
     EtherExpress LAN Adapter Driver and Option disk. The install program 
     will read the necessary files from the disk and copy them to 
     your LANtastic directory.

  7. The AI-NDIS install modifies your CONFIG.SYS and creates a file called 
     PROTOCOL.INI in the LANtastic directory. Below is a sample of each:

			CONFIG.SYS:

			FILES=50
			BUFFERS=32
			DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS  /I:C:\LANTASTI
			DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\EXP16.DOS
		
			PROTOCOL.INI:

			[PROTMAN]
			DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
			DYNAMIC = YES
			[EXP16_NIF]
			IOADDRESS = 0x300
			DRIVERNAME = EXP16$

  Note: the EtherExpress adapter is at I/O address 300 in this example.


  Modifying STARTNET.BAT:

  8. When you install LANtastic, it creates a batch file called STARTNET.BAT 
  in the LANtastic directory. This batch file needs to be modified for 
  AI-NDIS support. You need to add a line to it calling the STRTNDIS.BAT 
  batch file. Below is a sample:

			STARTNET.BAT:
			
			@ECHO OFF
			SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET
			SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
			PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
			SHARE /L:200
			CALL C:\LANTASTI\STRTNDIS     < ----   Add this line
			REDIR NAME LOGINS=3
			SERVER
			NET LOGIN/WAIT \\SERVERNAME NAME
			NET LPT TIMEOUT 10
			NET POSTBOX
