Technical Constraints 3. Currently unsupported functions 4. Software versions 5. Technical Support ***************************************************************************** 1. New in this release 1.1 Windows 95/NT software and diagnostics. As the user guide may not yet contain information for Windows 95 & Windows NT, included in this kit are README95.TXT & READMENT.TXT files respectively. Also, included in this release are Windows 95 & Windows NT Client diagnostics, see appropriate readme file. 1.2 Netware 4 Server Driver The Netware 4 Server Driver has been added to this release. 2. Technical Constraints 2.1. ODI As the ODI driver is built to include the latest NetWare technologies, it requires an up-to-date protocol stack. LSL should be version 2.11 or higher, IPXODI, NETX or the VLMs should be of the same level. To use new functions in the ODI driver, and to optimize the usage of conventional memory, using VLMs is recommended. As this version of the NetWare protocol stack may not yet be available at your location, we have provided the latest update of this software on the RoamAbout installation diskette. These files are not copied to your hard disk during the installation. If you need these, you can copy them to your hard disk with the following command: xcopy a:\vlm\*.* c:\roamabt\vlm\ Then execute VLMUP.BAT (available in the VLM subdirectory) to extract all NetWare information. Read VLMUP4.TXT for information on how to install this software. If you do not have the Novell VLM stack implemented, run the standard Novell Client Installation program as provided with your NetWare Operating System before doing this upgrade, or copy only LSL.COM and IPXODI.COM from these updates. 2.2. OEMSETUP.INF not compatible with IBM DOS Requester The file OEMSETUP.INF supplied on this disk is suitable for use with Windows For Workgroups. It can however not be used for IBM DOS Requester. To install IBM DOS Requester copy OEMSETUP.IBM to OEMSETUP.INF. The disk is now ready for IBM DOS Requester installation. To make this disk suitable for Windows For Workgroups again copy OEMSETUP.WFW back to OEMSETUP.INF. 2.3. Card support for Windows 95 / Windows NT NDIS 3 Driver With this release of the driver, only one RoamAbout card is supported. 2.4. Roaming & Wmonitor Utility. Although the RoamAbout/ISA cards support the 'autoconnect' to a RoamAbout Access Point, the hardware design of these cards do not support the full 'Roaming Functionality', required to run the WMonitor. Therefore it is not possible to run the WMonitor on computing devices equipped with RoamAbout/ISA cards (this utility is only supplied on the PC Card software kit). 3. Currently unsupported functions Nothing at this time. 4. Software versions The following software is provided on these diskettes.
