                         Packet Driver Installation Guide
                        ===================================


A.) The Packet Driver Syntax
============================

   DM9PCIPD [Command] <PD_INT_NO>

     Available command line options:

  -d           -- Delayed initialization.  Used for diskless booting
  -n           -- NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets
  -w           -- Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt
  -u           -- Uninstall
  -a           -- Auto-Negotiation for both speed and duplex mode
  -xf          -- Forced 100Mb/s Full Duplex mode
  -xh          -- Forced 100Mb/s Half Duplex mode
  -f           -- Forced 10Mb/s Full Duplex mode
  -h           -- Forced 10Mb/s Half Duplex mode
  -slot=<1~15> -- Select the slot to work with

       <PD_INT_NO>   This specifies the Software Interrupt(IRQ) where load the
                     packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80(hex).

      Note: The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so 
            don't load the packet driver there!).


B.) For Example
===============
The following command line loads the driver at software interrupt 60h.

  DM9PCIPD.COM 0x60

 Notes:
       a. The default transmission speed is NWay.(Auto-Negotiation)
       b. The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.

After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE.
The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications.

To run PC/TCP applications, you need to load PC/TCP Kernel ("ETHDRV.EXE").
1. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference section, Chapter 2.3.

2. The following example will load the Kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers.  
   Increasing the # of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents
   dropping packets due to a buffer shortage.

     ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter>

3. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications (e.g., 'ftp',
   'telnet'). example ftp 130.172.24.101, 130.172.24.101 is host address.
   Regard to host address, you must know its address.

C.) How to Communicate with NCSA TelNet
=======================================
 1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need
    version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface.

 2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please refer to the NCSA
    documentation for detailed instructions.

 3. Load Packet Driver (DM9PCIPD 0x60):
    a. Refer to "The Packet Driver Syntax" section above.
    b. To view the hint screen and type,

         DM9PCIPD -?  <Enter>

    c. The following example will load the packet driver using software
       interrupt vector 60.  The PD_INT_NO(IRQ) will be read from adapter 
       configuration space:

         DM9PCIPD 0x60  <Enter>

 4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications (e.g. 'ftp', 'telnet',
    etc. command).  For example: 

      ftp 192.72.53.202(the 192.72.53.202 is host address)
