    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 16-BIT NDIS 2.01 DRIVER FOR ARTISOFT 
          LANtastic 6.0 WITH THE HP DESKDIRECT LAN Adapter
 
 This document contains the information for installing the HP DeskDirect
 LAN Adapter with Artisoft's LANtastic v6.0 networking software.
 
 The HP NDIS 2.01 driver is self-configuring, which means the driver will
 automatically locate and read the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter's configuration.
 Only the DRIVERNAME parameter needs to be present under the [HPFEND]
 section in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
 
 The 16-bit NDIS driver is contained in the HP Support Disk NDIS2 directory:
 
         \NDIS2\HPFEND.DOS       - 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver
         \ARTISOFT\PROTOCOL.HP   - Sample PROTOCOL.INI file for using HPFEND
 
 NOTE: The support of NDIS v2.01 driver in the Artisoft's LANtastic
       software is provided beginning from version 6.0 of that product.
       The NDIS v2.01 driver for HP 10BaseT LAN Adapter does not support
       Artisoft's LANtastic version 5.X or earlier versions of that product.
 
 To install the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter and its 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver with
 Artisoft LANtastic v6.0, follow the instructions below:
 
 
 1.  Install the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter, and optionally, run HPVGSET. Follow
     instructions in the printed manual.

 2.  Install the Artisoft LANtastic v6.0 software.
 
     a) Insert the "Artisoft LANtastic v6.0 Disk 1" into the floppy disk
        drive, and enter the following commands at the DOS prompt:
 
            A:
            INSTALL
 
     b) Highlight "NDIS Support for Network Adapter" when the INSTALL
        program prompts for the network adapter and select "OK".
 
     c) Insert the HP Support Disk in the floppy drive and enter the
        path to the NDIS 2.01 driver:
 
           A:\NDIS2
 
        The LANtastic INSTALL will to copy the NDIS v2.01 driver for HP
        LAN Card and its PROTOCOL.INI file from the HP Support Disk.
 
     d) After the copying is done, do as directed to complete the
        installation of LANtastic.
 
 3.  Optionally, edit the PROTOCOL.INI file with an ASCII text editor.
 
     A PROTOCOL.INI file will be created in the directory where LANtastic
     is installed.  The PROTOCOL.INI file for the Artisoft LANtastic v6.0
     to work with HP LAN Card should look like this:
 
         [PROTMAN]
         ; Protocol manager
           drivername = PROTMAN$
           dynamic = yes
 
         [HPFEND_PCI]
         ; HP 10Base-T PCI LAN Adapter
           DriverName    = HPFEND$
         ; AdapterType   = 3
         ; AdapterSlot   = 
         ; IoAddress     = 
         ; MemoryMapBase = 
         ; MaxIcNest     = 1
         ; Priority      = no
         ; BusMaster     = yes
         ; NetAddress    = "080009010203"
 
     All the optional parameters have been commented out (using the ';'
     character) and are shown here only to illustrate the defaults.
     Only the DRIVERNAME parameter is mandatory. 
 
     The PROTOCOL.INI file must include a section describing the LAN adapter
     (the HPFEND section) and a section describing each of the network
     spftware components being run.  Each network product section must include
     a BINDINGS statement.
 
     NOTE: Refer to the PROTOCOL.TXT file in the \NDIS2 subdirectory on the
           HP Support disk for the definition of each PROTOCOL.INI parameter.
     NOTE: The file \ARTISOFT\PROTOCOL.HP is an example of the PROTOCOL.INI
           file for being used in the LANtastic 6.0 environment.
 
 4.  Check the CONFIG.SYS file.
 
     The CONFIG.SYS should contain the DEVICE statements that load the
     PROTMAN.DOS and the HPLANP NDIS v2.01 driver.  Below is an example of
     a portion of the CONFIG.SYS for loading the NDIS Protocol Manager
     (PROTMAN) and the NDIS 2.01 driver:
 
         DEVICE = C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
         DEVICE = C:\LANTASTI\HPFEND.DOS
 
     NOTE: This assumes LANtastic is installed in the C:\LANTASTI directory.
 
     Please refer to the Artisoft LANtastic Installation and Management Guide
     manual for more information about how to customize the CONFIG.SYS file
     for the Artisoft LANtastic software.
 
     Notes on the PROTMAN loading statement:
 
     - PROTMAN must be loaded before the adapter driver and other networking
       drivers; that is, the DEVICE statement for the PROTMAN file must be
       located before the other network DEVICE statement.
     - The "/I:" parameter in the DEVICE statement for the PROTMAN file
       identifies the path to the PROTOCOL.INI file.  In the example above,
       PROTOCOL.INI is located in the directory C:\LANTASTI.
 
 5.  Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with an ASCII text editor.
 
     The LANtastic INSTALL program should have automatically created
     a STARTNET.BAT file in the LANtastic directory.  The STARTNET.BAT
     contains the commands to start LANtastic software on the computer.
 
     To start LANtastic automatically every time the computer is booted,
     put the following command near the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
 
         CALL C:\LANTASTI\STARTNET.BAT
 
 6.  Reboot the computer.
 
     The changes made to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT will not take
     effect until the computer is rebooted.
 
 The installation of LANtastic v6.0 is complete.
