ODI DOS Client Driver
The Novell ODI driver for DOS is used with many Novell products. It is
also used by DOS and Microsoft Windows 3.x computers to gain access
to Novell servers through one of the following:
❒
NetWare DOS Requester (using Virtual Loadable Modules or VLMs)
or
❒
NetWare DOS Shell (using NETX.EXE)
Both NetWare clients use an ODI driver to enable them to use the
Enhanced PCI Ethernet interface to access the LAN medium. File
service to all versions of NetWare servers is possible from either the
DOS Requester or DOS Shell clients. Access to enhanced services
provided by later versions of NetWare servers may require using the
DOS Requester. Other Novell products, like Personal NetWare and LAN
Workplace for DOS, also use the DOS ODI driver.
The DOS ODI driver is contained within the
NOVELL\DOSCLNT
directory of your LAN Disk, the contents of this directory are:
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\PCNTNW.COM
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\PCNTNW.INS
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\NET.CFG
To install the ODI driver with DOS Requester (VLM.EXE), refer to
page 4.
To install the ODI driver with DOS Shell (NETX.EXE), refer to page 6.
