1. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------

  a. NDIS driver Installation Procedure

     1. Insert your copy of the PathWay Drivers diskette into drive A.

     2. To copy the software onto the system, enter :

	A:\> pwinstal C:

        where C: is the disk drive that you intend to use for the installation
        of your PathWay software.  The PWINSTAL program automatically installs
	the driver software in a new directory named \PATHWAY on the drive you
	specified.

	The diskette is finished copying when you receive the following
	message:  "The PathWay Drivers have been copied successfully. Refer to
	documentation to complete driver installation."

     3. Insert the NIC-2002 Driver diskette into drive A: and copy the NDIS
        driver to the subdirectory where you want to install the PathWay
        software:

	A:\> Copy A:\NDIS\ETHNE.DOS C:\PATHWAY

     4. Edit the C:\CONFIG.SYS file to contain the following entries:

	DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\PWTCP.SYS
	DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\PROTMAN.EXE/I:C:\PATHWAY
	DEVICE=C:\PATHWAY\ETHNE.DOS

     5. Use any text editor to generate a PROTOCOL.INI file in C:\PATHWAY
	which must have the following section:

        [UK000x]
	DriverName = ETHNE$

     6. The startup batch file - AUTOEXEC.BAT should have the following entries
	in the order shown:

	path=c:\pathway
	ndis [-d:#]
	pwbind

        where the -d option is used when accessing a specific module number
	within PROTOCOL.INI.  In your PROTOCOL.INI file, a line enclosed by
	square brackets designates the beginning of a new module.  Each module
	is referred to by a hexadecimal number.  The first module is module
	number one.  The second module is module two, and so on.

  b. PathWay Kernel Installation Procedure

     1. Insert your copy of the PathWay Kernel diskette into drive A

     2. To copy the software onto the system, enter:

	A:\> pwinstal C:

        where C: is the disk drive that you intend to use for the installation
        of your PathWay software.  The PWINSTAL program automatically installs
	the driver software in a new directory named \PATHWAY on the drive you
	specified.

        The diskette copying is complete when you see the following message:
        "PathWay Kernel files have been copied successfully.  Reboot and refer
	to the documentation to complete kernel installation."

     3. Remove the diskette from drive A: and restart your computer

     4. Change the current directory to PATHWAY.

     5. Run the CUSTOM program in order to set or change the following settings:

	. The Internet address
	. The subnet bits (if your network includes subnetworks)
	. The gateway address (if you are communicating with hosts outside your
	  local network )

     6. Remove the diskette from drive A: and restart your computer

     7. Enter the following command to load the Kernel:

	C:\PATHWAY> PWTCP

     8. Test your PC Using PING program

	C:\PATHWAY> PING hostname

        Where hostname is the official name, alias, or Internet address of a
	host on your network that you expect to be able to communicate with.

     9. According to your needs, you can install the Character-based
        application or the Windows-based application of PathWay.
