DESCRIPTION:
The EtherDisk drivers support 3Com's family of EtherLink 10/100 PCI 
bus-mastering network interface cards (NICs) with a common driver set. 
These drivers are PC99 compliant and when used in conjunction with the 
7-pin cable on the adapter, they support Remote System Alert 
functionalities on Compaq's Deskpro Models with 810 and later chipsets. 
The use of appropriate Management Console Software is also required on the
target servers (not provided by Compaq), together with the 3Com's Server 
Plug-ins for that Application (SP11727 from 
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/desktops/us/index.html).

This driver is no different from the driver in SoftPaq SP12367.  It has just 
been tested for support of more Deskpro and Workstation models.
