3C589 - LAN Support

Question: How do I get dual connectivity to an AS400 and a NetWare 3.X server with VLM?

Answer: This configuration assumes a 3C589 using Point Enabler, NetWare, and AS400 connectivity, installed in PC Support v 2.0. Run the DXMAID program from the LAN SUPPORT 1.35 disk and select the option to import the ELPC3.DOS driver. This creates a PROTOCOL.INI file which includes the section for the Protocol DXME and generates a MAC section for the adapter. Modify the NET.CFG file to reassign the adapter's frame type to Token Ring.
