  ABOUT THIS FILE

  This file describes any special considerations with use of IBMTOK.DOS.

  NOTE:  Please use DXMAID to install IBMTOK.DOS.


  ____________
  MESSAGE FILE

  The message file, LT2.MSG must be located in the same directory as
  IBMTOK.DOS.  If you use DXMAID this will be done automatically for you.

  SUPPORTING TWO ADAPTERS WITH IBMTOK.DOS

  To support two adapters with IBMTOK.DOS you need to do the following:

  o   Load two copies of IBMTOK.DOS in CONFIG.SYS.

  o   Enter the keyword 'ALTERNATE' in the PROTOCOL.INI section for the
      alternate adapter.

  If you use DXMAID to install remember to do the following steps:

  o   Specify that you have two adapters and that you have an option diskette.

  o   Select IBMTOK.DOS for the primary adapter.

  o   Select IBMTOK.DOS for the alternate adapter.

  o   Place the cursor on the entry for IBMTOK.DOS for the alternate adapter,
      then press F5 to edit parameters.

  o   Move the cursor to the input field labeled 'Alternate adapter' and type
      the word 'yes', then press F4.  This will cause the keyword 'ALTERNATE'
      to be entered into the PROTOCOL.INI.

  o   Install the configuration.  DXMAID automatically loads two copies of
      IBMTOK.DOS in CONFIG.SYS.

  PROTOCOL.INI ENTRY

  If you are not using DXMAID to install IBMTOK.DOS, the following is a sample
  PROTOCOL.INI entry for IBMTOK.DOS.

    [IBMTOK_MOD]
            DriverName = IBMTOK$
            EARLYRELEASE
            MAXTRANSMITS = 6
            RECVBUFS = 2
            RECVBUFSIZE = 256
            XMITBUFS = 1
            XMITBUFSIZE = 2040

  The following is a sample PROTOCOL.INI entry for the second IBM Token-Ring
  adapter in the same PC.

  NOTE:  IBMTOK.DOS must be loaded twice in CONFIG.SYS to support two IBM
  Token-Ring adapters.

    [IBMTOK2_MOD]
            DriverName = IBMTOK2$
            EARLYRELEASE
            MAXTRANSMITS = 6
            RECVBUFS = 2
            RECVBUFSIZE = 256
            XMITBUFS = 1
            XMITBUFSIZE = 2040
            ALTERNATE
