■ Promiscuous mode support for the Windows 95 and
Windows NT NDIS miniport drivers. In promiscuous
mode, the NIC receives and forwards all network
packets that arrive, regardless of the node to which
they are addressed. Applications such as Microsoft
Systems Management Server require the driver to be
in promiscuous mode while they run. Promiscuous
mode is automatically enabled and controlled by
applications that require this feature. No user
control is necessary.
■ Easy configuration in 3Com mode for highest
performance, or IBM mode with legacy IBM drivers
3Com mode provides significant performance
improvements by implementing Parallel Tasking
architecture. Additionally, 3Com mode improves
configuration flexibility by increasing the number
of available IRQ channels to 8 and the number of I/O
base addresses to 31. You can install up to six NICs
per PC.
IBM mode provides the same configuration options as
IBM 16/4 Token Ring adapters: four IRQ channels and
two I/O base addresses. You can use either 3Com
drivers or IBM drivers in the IBM mode.
