 Getting Started
 

    Lantastic 5.0 Install
    

        Using NDIS driver
        

         For NDIS driver, D-Link support "DLKPCI.DOS" driver for PCI
          Family Adapter. User can use "DLKPCI.DOS" driver to replace
          AEXNDIS.DOS which is the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.

                *** CONFIG.SYS ****
                DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI

                   DRIVERNAME = AEXNDIS$

                * please replace to *

                [DLKPCI_NIF]
                   DRIVERNAME = DLKPCI$
                --------------------------------------------------------------

          Comments:
             If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option
             on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you must run
             NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.


    Lantastic 6.0 Install
                                           

        Using NDIS driver
        

         To install D-Link NDIS driver "DLKPCI.DOS", user can use Lantastic
          6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters"
          then type path "C:\LANTASTI.DRV" (specify by D-Link install program).
          Install program will search "DLKPCI.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy
          these two files to target directory.

         If user already installed Lantastic 6.0 and want to install D-Link's
          PCI Family adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with D-Link's NDIS
          driver "DLKPCI.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS

          NOTE: "DLKPCI.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by D-Link
                "AEXNDIS.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by ARTISOFT

        Using ODI DOS driver
        
         ODI for DOS driver, D-Link support "DLKPCI.COM" driver for PCI
          Family Adapter. User can use "DLKPCI.COM" driver to replace NRODI.COM
          which is the ODI for DOS driver offered by ARTISOFT.

          Note: Because DLKPCI.COM following HSM v4.0 spec, please save
                LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM that original supported by Lantastic.
                Copy both LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM from C:\LANTASTI.DRV to
                target directory C:\LANTASTI.
