In this readme file, we will tell you how to use the batch file, STARTNET.BAT,
to run the application programs on the LANtasti/AI network operating system
(NOS) provided that you have installed your PC as a server.

There are two subdirectories, VER40 and VER50, in the ARTISOFT directory:

     In VER40 subdirectory, we provide POCK403.EXE low level driver to support
     LANtasti/AI NOS version 4.xx.

     In VER50 subdirectory, we provide POCK503.EXE low level driver to support
     LANtasti/AI NOS version 5.xx.

To use the drivers provided, just follow the steps below:

        Step1   you should decide which version of LANtasti/AI NOS you
                installed on your PC.

        Step2   copy the suitable driver to the directory, LANTASTI, on you PC.

        Step3   modify the drivername in the STARTNET.BAT batch file.

        Step4   add the switch FORCE_ACK_MODE on AILANBIO command line.~

    A STARTNET.BAT file is also provided in the ARTISOFT directory for your
    reference.

  *** NOTE: stations installed with different version of LANtasti/AI NOS
            can NOT communicate with each other.


~ The FORCE_ACK_MODE switch is not necessary;however, if you communicate with
  a relative high speed machine such as IBM ThinkPad 720, it is better to add
  the switch on the AILANBIO command line to raise the reliability of the
  connection between your POCKET adapter and the high speed machine.
