DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq unpacks IBMMPCO.LAN, which is the Netware
Server driver for the Compaq Auto 16/4 Token Ring PCI Controller 
and IBM Lanstreamer 16/4 Token Ring PCI controller.
This version resolves an error where the Netware console intermittently 
displays an error message such as:

              "Lost Hardware Interrupt on Primary Interrupt Controller
               has been detected"

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a temporary, empty directory on your 
hard drive.  The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From the download directory, execute the SoftPaq.  When executed 
with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory.
To extract the files into a different directory, specify the complete 
path of the directory as a parameter:

     SPxxxx <path> 

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into the download 
directory or the directory specified.  

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. To install the driver, copy the file IBMMPCO.LAN to SYS:\SYSTEM. 
IMPORTANT:  Unloading the LAN driver will cause all current connections 
to be dropped, so this should not be done on an active LAN during regular 
business hours.
To activate the new driver, unload the old driver by typing:
UNLOAD IBMMPCO.LAN

5. Next load the driver by typing
LOAD IBMMPCO.LAN

6. Next bind the driver to the appropriate LAN protocol. For example :
BIND IPX IBMMPCO net=xxx

7. For correct network number etc., refer to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file for the
system.
