              WINDOWS 3.1X AND NOVELL NETWARE


This document describes how to configure the LAN+Modem card
for use with Windows version 3.1x and Novell NetWare. These
procedures are also described in the LAN+Modem card User
Guide.

NOTE: The following instructions assume you have not installed
      any other network adapter in the PC. If networking
      has already been installed, some of the instructions will
      not apply or appear accurate. Consult with your MIS 
      department for further instructions.

Before installing the network driver, you should know the 
transport used in the Novell Network (typically IPX/SPX) and
have access to the following software components:

    - Novell NetWare VLM Client disks for DOS and Windows
    - The EtherDisk diskette that came with your LAN+Modem card.

    exit Windows to return to the DOS prompt.
