3CBOOT.NLM - FILE SERVER DRIVER
3C1100.COM - WORKSTATION DRIVER


** 3C1100.COM is a CERTIFIED DOSODI driver for 3COM 3STATIONS.  For
information regarding the implementation of DOSODI drivers refer to the
NETWARE ODI Shell for DOS manual (Netware 3.11)  or the Installation manual
(Netware 3.10).  The following files are also needed:

	   LSL.COM
	   IPXODI.COM
	   NETX.COM


REQUIREMENTS:

1. Server running NetWare v3.10 or NetWare v3.11.

2. NetWare Installation manuals.

SERVER INSTALLATION:

1. Copy the 3cboot.nlm to the server's SYS:SYSTEM directory.

2. Edit the Autoexec.ncf to include the following:

     "load <landriver> frame=ethernet_ii name=net1"
     "bind ipx to net1 net=<net1number>"
     "load 3cboot"
     "bind 3cboot net1"

     Where <landriver> = lan driver for server. eg. NE2000
           <net1number> = net number for that cabel segment.
            e.g 5678.

     For a more complete example of an AUTOEXEC.NCF please
     refer to the example section at the end of this document.

WORKSTATION INSTALLATION:

3. Format a bootable diskette and copy the following files to the newly
created diskette:

	Config.sys**
	Netx.com
	Autoexec.bat**
	Rplodi.com
	Lsl.com
	3c1100.com
	Ipxodi.com

    ***NOTE: If you are using a NET.CFG, you must delete it.

     **See the EXAMPLES section for examples of these files

4. Create Boot Image:

 1. Connect to server with a machine containing a floppy drive.
 2. Login as supervisor
 3. Change directories to SYS:LOGIN (e.g cd SYS:LOGIN)
 4. MAP S3:=SYS:SYSTEM (optional)
 5. Place the boot diskette (the one you created in Step 3) into
    drive A:
 6. Run DOSGEN (eg. "\system\dosgen")
    (See NetWare Installation manual for details on creating
     a DOS boot image.)
 7. Copy a:\autoexec.bat to sys:\login\autoexec.bat

5. Connect 3Station to ethernet wire and power it on.
