The remainder of this section discusses the contents of the
LANMAN.DOS Enhanced directory for an MS-DOS workstation.
The LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS Directory
The LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS directory holds the network device
drivers, the network-information files for network adapters, and a device
driver for MS-DOS.
There are two types of network device drivers: protocol device drivers
and media-access control device drivers. Protocol drivers work as
intermediaries between LAN Manager Enhanced and media-access
control drivers. Media-access control drivers work as intermediaries
between protocol drivers and network adapters. For further information
about network device drivers, see the Chapter 8, “About Network
Device Drivers,” and Chapter 9, “Network Device Driver Options.”
The LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS directory contains the following
subdirectories:
BASEBAND
Contains the media-access control drivers for any installed baseband
network adapters.
DOSUTILS
Contains expanded and extended memory drivers for MS-DOS.
ETHERNET
Contains the media-access control drivers for any installed EtherNet
network adapters.
NIF
Contains the network-information files (NIF) for all media-access
control drivers in the directory. Includes NIF files for network
adaptors, regardless of whether the adapters are installed.
PROTMAN
Contains the files for managing the protocol device drivers in the
directory.
