added to the program manager.
6. The setup program will notify you when the installation is
complete.
1.3 TCP/IP SLIP Connection Setup
In order to communicate with the ATM LAN Bridge Module hardware, the Configuration
Utility uses TCP/IP via the winsock.dll. The configurator has been thoroughly
tested with the IBM versions of TCP/IP (DOS and OS/2). However it has been
demonstrated to work with the Chameleon TCP/IP protocol stack from NetManage
and Win95 from Microsoft.

**** IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING - UART TYPE ****
******************************************************************
>>>NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a workstation
that has a Type 2 UART to ensure reliable transfer of
data between the workstation and the ATM LAN Bridge Module.
If you are not sure what type of UART your machine has
SLIP will display the UART type on bringup. When SLIP
