TCP/IP

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
  FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters.  It does not explain how 
  to configure an EtherExpress board.  For instructions about 
  configuring the board, see the printed installation guide.


  ARE THE ETHEREXPRESS CARDS TCP/IP COMPATIBLE?  
  ---------------------------------------------
  Intel(R) does not sell TCP/IP software. However, TCP/IP software may be 
  purchased from several different vendors.  Intel provides NDIS, ODI, 
  and packet drivers that work with most TCP/IP software.  First, 
  determine if the TCP/IP software is NDIS, ODI, or packet driver compliant 
  and then find the section below that applies.
 
  ODI GENERAL
  -----------
  The ODI driver conforms to Novell's ODI Specification.  If the TCP/IP
  software is ODI compliant, use the ODI drivers.  These drivers are on the
  diskette in the NETWARE.ODI subdirectory.  
  
  NETWARE.ODI\EXP16ODI.COM  (for DOS) 
  NETWARE.ODI\EXP16ODI.SYS  (for OS/2)
  
  ODI drivers use a NET.CFG file.
  
  An example of the ODI NET.CFG from a Lan WorkPlace for DOS set up follows:
  
        Link Support
          Buffers 8 1586
          MemPool 4096

       Protocol TCPIP
          ip_address xxx
       
       Link Driver EXP16ODI
          Port 300
          Frame ETHERNET_802.2        
          Frame ETHERNET_II
  
  
  NDIS GENERAL
  ------------
  Intel's EtherExpress 16 NDIS driver conforms to Microsoft's NDIS
  Specification version 2.0.1.  If the TCP/IP software is NDIS compliant,
  use the NDIS drivers.  These drivers are on the EtherExpress diskette in
  the NDIS subdirectory:
  
  NDIS\EXP16.DOS   (for DOS)
  NDIS\EXP16.OS2   (for OS/2)
  
  The following section should be added to the existing PROTOCOL.INI
  file.  A sample PROTOCOL.INI is located in the NDIS subdirectory. 
  
    [EXP16]
       IOADDRESS = 0x300
       DRIVERNAME = EXP16$

  
  NDIS AND BANYAN VINES
  ---------------------
  The version of TCP/IP supplied with Banyan*  Vines 4.X does not support NDIS
  drivers.  To use TCP/IP with an NDIS driver, you will need to purchase a
  version of TCP/IP that supports NDIS.  Call your Banyan support 
  representative for more information.

  
  PACKET DRIVERS
  --------------
  We provide a packet driver for the EtherExpress card which conforms to the
  FTP packet driver specification v1.07.  If the TCP/IP packages allow you 
  to use packet drivers, use the packet drivers in the PACKET subdirectory.
  
  NOTE:  For more information on packet drivers, see the PACKET.TXT readme 
         file.
  
  
  FTP SOFTWARE'S PC/TCP FOR NDIS:  FaxBACK #6321
  ----------------------------------------------
  
  NOTE:  For more information on using the NDIS driver with FTP PC/TCP, see
         the PCTCP.TXT readme file.
  

  SUN'S PCNFS WITH NDIS: FAXBACK doc # 6320
  -----------------------------------------
  
  NOTE:  For more information on using the NDIS driver with SUN PCNFS, see
         the PCNFS.TXT readme file.
