     Installation Instructions:

     Note for IWM.MDF Users:

          If you're using IWM.MDF with the Intel Wireless modem (Ericsson AT
          Mobidem), you must configure the modem speed in the appropriate MHS
          setup screen for 9600 and turn off any modem protocol negotiation. 
          Users should realize that actual throughput performance for the
          Intel Wireless may be less than 9600 baud.

          Should you encounter connection difficulties using IWM.MDF and
          Remote MHS, invoke Remote MHS with the "-Z" command line switch.

               Example:

                    RMHS -Z

          This Remote MHS 2.0 switch is an undocumented switch that reduces
          the B+ protocol sliding window size to zero and will virtually
          eliminate transmission errors.

     *************************************************************
     The included modem definition files are being provided by Novell as a
     service to our many MHS users.  These files have been developed
     internally but have not been through a formal testing procedure.  As
     such, these files will not receive support similar to the files that are
     included with MHS products.

     Novell recommends that you use these files in a test environment
     initially until you are comfortable with their operation.  Thank you for
     using NetWare MHS.
