If you are using Proteon's "Extended User Interface" (Emulates IBM Token Ring

interface allows direct connections to IBM's AS/400 and other mini's and
mainframes.)

{path} refers to the users path and drive to access the driver. Do not enter the
version information; it's just for your reference.

The following is the 416 line of cards:

     DEVICE={path}\PRO16EUI.SYS  version 2.13c or later
     DEVICE={path}\PROLOC.OUT    version 1.0 or later

The 1390 card requires the 417 line drivers above and the driver:

  DEVICE={path}\CFGP1390.SYS   version 1.3 or later

The 1890 card (Microchannel) requires the 416 line drivers in addition to the
