ABSTRACT:
This file contains a patch for RXNET.LAN, which was shipped with NetWare
v3.0.  The patch fixes a problem with RXNET.LAN, which would use and not
release Packet Receive Buffers until the set maximum value was reached. 
However, when this point was reached, connections would be dropped from the
network, and no one could login to the network.

This README file accompanies the RXNET.LAN v1.01 for NetWare 386 v3.0.

This version of RXNET.LAN v1.01 corrects the following problems:

     1.   Packet Receive Buffers not being released.
     2.   Workstations getting Abort Retries.
     3.   Users unable to login because the Packet Receive Buffers have
reached the maximum limit.

NOTE: This driver supports 8-bit boards only. (16 bit and 32 bit cards are
not supported with this driver)

To install this version of RXNET.LAN:

1)    Copy RXNET.LAN to your NetWare system start-up area (SYS:SYSTEM
and/or DOS partition). Be sure to rename the old version of the RXNET
driver.

2)    Load the driver as you normally would on your system.
