    AE-200PNP Ethernet Adapter.

    The PNPPD.COM program is complies with the FTP PC/TCP Packet driver
    Specifications.  This packet driver allow you to use The  AE-200PNP
    Ethernet Adapter with FTP PC/TCP software.

    FTP PC/TCP network OS doesn't support Plug&Play feature and if your
    computer does not support  PnP function also,  you must set the LAN
    card in "Jumperless" mode through our PNPSETUP program;  Otherwise,
    it can not work correctly.
