    [Enter].

4.  The NIC Configuration screen appears with the IRQ shown in the
    Standard Options box.


Banyan VINES Client Installations
---------------------------------
To install VINES 6.0 software on a DOS NDIS workstation, follow these
instructions.  DOS must be installed on the target workstation C: drive or
you must have a bootable DOS floppy.

1.  Use the DOS MD command to create a subdirectory called \VINES.

2.  Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) Install diskette into
    the \VINES subdirectory.

3.  Copy the contents of the NDIS subdirectory on the VINES LAN S/W (DOS)
    2 of 2 diskette into the \VINES subdirectory.

4.  Copy the EL90X.DOS and the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the NDIS2\DOS  
    subdirectory of EtherDisk 1 diskette to the \VINES subdirectory on 
    your system.

5.  Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to read as follows:

    [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
     DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

    [VINES_XIF]
     DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$
     BINDINGS = EL90X

    [EL90X]
     DRIVERNAME = EL90X$
 
6.  Run the PCCONFIG.EXE program located in the \VINES subdirectory.
                                                         
7.  Select option 1, Network Card Settings.

8.  Select the NDIS Ethernet option.

9.  The NDIS Workstation screen appears. Enter the interrupt request 
    number (IRQ) you selected for the 3Com Fast EtherLink XL/
    EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC. 

10.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following lines, substituting
     A: for C: for a floppy disk installation.
                                   
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\EL90X.DOS

11. Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

    CD \VINES
    BAN
     
    BAN loads the NDISBAN drivers and reads the PCCONFIG.DB file to
    invoke changes made during the PCCONFIG stage.
