         EtherDisk(R) Diskette for the EtherLink(R)III/PCMCIA Adapter              
                               Release Note


     For the latest software available for the 3C589 adapter, refer to 
     Appendix D in the user guide for instructions on accessing 3Com's
     CardBoard bulletin board service.

 This version of the EtherDisk diskette provides the following enhancements:
    
   - Auto installation software for a NetWare DOS client
        NetWare DOS client software can be automatically installed on the
        hard disk of a PC in two ways:
        1. If  "3Install" is configured on a server (see user guide),
        customized client software will be installed.
        2. If "3Install" is not available, a basic DOS client (LSL, ODI,
        IPXODI, and NetX) will be copied to the hard disk and placed in the
        AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

   - Driver agents for Transcend(TM) EtherLink SmartAgent(TM) 
     (formerly LinkWatch)
        These driver agents, when used with 3Com's Transcend EtherLink 
        SmartAgent software, allow network administrators to monitor and 
        control PC network activity.  A driver agent is built into the 
        3C589.COM NetWare client ODI driver.  Driver agents for NDIS 2.01 
        drivers are separately installable files that ship with Transcend 
        EtherLink SmartAgent software only.
