[eisa_lm] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file:
Entry Units Range Default
drivername — — eisa_lm$ or eisa_lmn$
ethernetemulate — no, yes yes

Entries in the [eisa_lm] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:

eisa_lm2$ for the second, and so on.
ethernetemulate
Indicates whether the driver presents itself as DIX+802.3, allows
1500-byte frames. Microsoft NetBEUI requires this. Otherwise,
driver presents itself as FDDI, allows 4500-byte frames. Values for
