Entries in the [cpqtok] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:
drivername
Identifies the driver name. The drivername is the base portion of the
filename plus a digit if there is more than one token-ring driver. The
drivername is cpqtok$ for the first token-ring driver, cpqtok2$ for
the second, and so on.
earlyrelease
Specifies the early token release option for the token-ring 16 MBPS
Network Interface Controller (NIC). This is a function that reduces
the average time another adapter must wait to gain access to the
network. This entry is not followed by an equal sign and is ignored
when the controller is configured for 4 MBPS network speed.
maxframesize
Specifies the size of the receive and transmit buffers, in bytes. The
maximum size of the buffers depends on the network speed setting.
The adapter allows a value of 4096 at the 4 MBPS setting and 17952
at the 16 MBPS setting.
