   3.x server with AppleTalk

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
  FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters.  


  Macintosh* EtherTalk* drivers come in several flavors:
    
     Protocol                    Frame Type
     =======================================
     EtherTalk                   802.3
     EtherTalk 1.0               Type II (8137)
     EtherTalk 1.3               Type II (8137)
     EtherTalk 2.0               SNAP
     EtherTalk 2.01              SNAP
  
  Adapter drivers can be loaded and bound in many ways as you will see in
  the example below.  The statements in CAPs are required statements for
  EtherTalk or are necessary to get a specific frame type operational.      
  
  Be sure that STARTUP.NCF includes the command LOAD MAC. This is the
  Macintosh Name Service.  The file MAC.NAM must be in the bootup
  partition and in the same directory as SERVER.EXE.  This file comes with
  the NetWare* software.
  
  SAMPLE AUTOEXEC.NCF FOR NETWARE 3.12 WITH MACINTOSH ETHERTALK
  =============================================================
  
  	File server name intel
  	ipx internal net BBB
  	load nmagent
  	load msm31x
  	load ethertsm
  	load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 name=lan_a
  	bind ipx lan_a net=100
  	LOAD APPLETLK NET=5000 ZONE={"ADMIN"}
  	load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_II name=lan_b
  	bind ipx lan_b net=200
  	BIND APPLETLK LAN_B NET=1-2 ZONE={"ADMIN"}
  	load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP name=lan_c
  	BIND APPLETLK LAN_C NET=3-5 ZONE={"ADMIN"}
  	LOAD AFP
  	LOAD ATPS
  
  
  Notes
  =====  
  
       Ethernet_II frames support AppleTalk phase I.
    
       Ethernet_snap frames support AppleTalk phase II.
  
       LOAD APPLETLK refers to loading APPLETLK.NLM.  This is the
       AppleTalk stack and router.  The NET=5000 is an aribtrary AppleTalk
       network number similar to the internal IPX net address.  It must be a
       unique number on the internet.  ZONEs are logical groupings of
       AppleTalk equipment for file and print services.
  
       Bind APPLETLK is binding the AppleTalk protocol to an Ethernet Type
       II frame or to the Ethernet SNAP frame.  The NET= in these statements
       is different from the NET= in the Bind IPX statements. It is a range
       of network numbers found on the AppleTalk network.  Net numbers for
       AppleTalk Phase II must be defined as a range even if that range is
       one digit long (i.e. net=20-20).  Net numbers for AppleTalk Phase I
       are single digit, 1-F like net=b. 
     
       Normally the INT= (interrupt) is not included in a load statement for
       the EtherExpress adapter. However, when you are re-entrantly loading
       modules if you do not include the INT=, you will be prompted for it
       and then prompted for the frame type.  This requires someone to
       interact with the server during the boot process.
  
       Load AFP  - This is the loading of the AppleTalk File Protocol v2.0. 
       It is used to file requests to the server.
     
       Load ATPS - This is the loading of the AppleTalk Print Server.  It
       processes requests from both DOS and Mac workstations.
