This odi client driver is written to conform to the Novell ODI specification 
for DOS workstations, Revision B.  It supports promiscuous mode.
This client driver is currently undergoing Novell certification tests.
This client defaults to an 802.2 frame type - the previous version, V2.05,
defaulted to an 802.3 frame type (this is due to some changes in
Novell-supplied files for odi client development).

Given the ODI architecture, the best selection of memory mode for this
driver is 2K mode.  This will result in 63 network buffers.  This driver
only uses 2K mode - if 32K or 64K mode is selected, this driver will
print a message indicating that it is changing to 2K mode.  The driver will
restore the selected mode when it is unloaded (ewrk3/u) or on a cold boot.

Before beginning the installation of the driver (particularly if it is the 
first time you are installing the driver) execute the NICSETUP program found 
in the root directory of the distribution media.  NICSETUP allows you to
change your board's settings (ex. I/O, memory address, memory mode, interrupt).
Note the board settings for use in installation.

There are two very different ways to install your EtherWORKS 3 netware client,
automatically and manually.

AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION:

    1.  Create client installation diskettes from your server kit.

    2.  Put the first installation diskette into your floppy drive, change 
	the floppy to the system drive, and execute install.

			C:\> A:
			A:\> INSTALL

    3.  Follow the installation instructions, pressing <ENTER> to install the 
	driver for your network board.  Insert your EtherWORKS 3 driver 
	diskette when prompted to do so, indicating the path to be 
	A:\ODI\CLIENT\FIELDTST.  The installation software will then use 
	ewrk3.ins to create the NET.CFG file.  Choose your module name (DE203,
	DE204, or DE205) and press <ENTER>.  Use the arrow keys to select a 
	parameter (I/O port, interrupt, frame type, or memory address),
	press <ENTER>, and select the setting you chose in NICSETUP for this 
	board.  Press <ESCAPE> when all parameters match NICSETUP.  You will 
	be returned to the main installation menu where you press <ENTER> to 
	complete the process - follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

MANUAL INSTALLATION:

    1.  Go to the subdirectory from which you execute the client driver and 
	copy EWRK3.COM, NET.CFG, RAMDIAG.COM and README into this directory 
	(assuming you are in the root directory of the C:\> drive)

			C:\> CD NWCLIENT
			C:\NWCLIENT> COPY A:\ODI\CLIENT\FIELDTST\*.*
			C:\NWCLIENT> COPY A:\RAMDIAG.COM
			C:\NWCLIENT> COPY A:\NICSETUP.EXE
 
    2.  Execute the NICSETUP utility found in the root directory of this 
	distribution media.  Note changes made to the default configuration.  
	The default EtherWORKS 3/Turbo configuration settings are as follows:
			Base I/O Address:       300h
			Memory Base Address:    D0000h
			Memory Mode:            2K
			IRQ Value:              5
		
    3.  If necessary, modify the NET.CFG file to reflect the changes made 
	during NICSETUP.  If you are using the EtherWORKS 3/TURBO board in 
	EISA mode (EISA systems only), don't forget to update NET.CFG's port 
	value which is the Base I/O Address value displayed in NICSETUP's 
	Module Status menu (for example, slot 5 is port 5C00h).

USING YOUR NETWARE CLIENT
					
    1.  Load the Novell supplied Link Support Layer ("LSL") from the DOS 
	prompt by entering LSL <ENTER>.

    2.  Load the DOSODI Client driver EWRK3.COM by entering EWRK3 <ENTER> 
	at the DOS prompt.

    3.  Load the Novell provided IPXODI.COM file at the DOS prompt by typing 
	IPXODI <ENTER>

    4.  Load the Novell supplied NetWare shell NETX.COM, or NETX.EXE, or 
	VLM.EXE at the DOS prompt.  At this point, you will receive 
	notification that you are attached to the server.  Please see your 
	network administrator for a user account or log into the "Guest" 
	account.  To log into an account, switch to drive F: at the DOS 
	prompt and enter the login sequence as follows:

			C:\NWCLIENT> F:
			F:\LOGIN> login guest (or user account name)

    5.  To unload the driver, type LOGOUT at the NetWare prompt, switch back 
	to the drive that the driver was loaded from, and enter the following 
	command sequence.

			F:\USERNAME> LOGOUT
				<NetWare logout messages>
			F:\LOGIN> C:
			C:\NWCLIENT> NETX/U
				<Netware unload message>
			C:\NWCLIENT> IPXODI/U
				<NetWare unload message>
			C:\NWCLIENT> EWRK3/U
				<NetWare unload message>
			C:\NWCLIENT> LSL/U
				<NetWare unload message>

  *  Note this is different than the format used by some other network     *
  *  operating systems (pathworks for example would want to see D000 in    *

  *  If the wrong format is used, the following message would be seen:     *

			     USER NOTES
			     ==========

1) If you are loading the DOSODI driver on an EISA Bus system and you are
   configuring the EWRK3 adapter as an EISA device you must first configure
   the EtherWORKS 3 card for EISA mode. Consult the README file in the \EISA 
   directory of this distribution media for further details. After that has
   been completed you need to ADD the EtherWORKS 3/Turbo to the system using 
   the EISA Configuration Utility supplied with the system. To ADD, DELETE or 
   VIEW EtherWORKS 3/Turbo EISA settings the appropriate (EtherWORKS 3 
   specific) EISA configuration file must be made available to the EISA 
   Configuration Utility. These configuration files, !DE2030.CFG, !DE2040.CFG, 
   and !DE2050.CFG can also be located within the \EISA directory of this 
   distribution media.  

2) The EWRK3 DOSODI device driver usually executes the EtherWORKS 3 diagnostic 
   called RAMDIAG.COM each time the driver is loaded.  While it is recommended
   that you execute this diagnostic each time you load the driver, you
   may rename this file to something else (e.g., RAMDIAG.TMP) to prevent
   it from being executed.
