It contains installation notes for installing the driver. It does not explain how to configure an EtherExpress board.

NOTE: This document or an updated version (if the procedure has changed since this file was written) is also available on FaxBACK (document # 6309). INTRODUCTION: ------------- Many different network operating systems use a standard NDIS driver to talk to the network adapter. The NDIS subdirectory on the EtherExpress disk contains the files you need to use the EtherExpress card with one of these operating systems. FILE Purpose ---- -------------------------------------------- EXP16.DOS NDIS driver for DOS workstations. EXP16.OS2 NDIS driver for servers & OS/2 workstations. PROTOCOL.INI Fragment of the general PROTOCOL.INI file. This fragment contains information specific to the EtherExpress 16 boards. You'll need to add this fragment to the general PROTOCOL.INI file. EXPSTAT.EXE A utility for analyzing problems after your driver is loaded. You can run this under OS/2 (inside or outside the compatibility box) or under DOS.
