Can someone please point me to either a FAQ, an FTP site or a contact who can help with the following. We have a 4 port comms card (Gateway Communications WNIM-Z80 copyright 1990) which was originally purchased to be used in a Netware server. The only doco supplied was "Novell WNIM+ Adaptor Installation Guide" which describes a card not too dissimilar to the card supplied (but DIP switches in different spots etc) but gives no detailed port mapping information or indications of method of operation. We now want to install it in an NT3.5 Server to allow RAS access. Unfortunately we dont know if the card is "smart" and requiring a software driver or "dumb". If the latter we need to find out the appropriate NT registry entries for port address, Interrupt status register address, Port Index, and possibly interrupt indexing if required. We can guess from the doco we have what the I/O port address is (and how to set it from the DIP switches) but all other information is lacking. The local (Australian) distributors have no more information on the board than that supplied to us. Web surfing has produced an address www.gateway.com which might be a home page for the manufacturer but it appears to be non-reachable. Has anyone a template registry entry? Does anyone know where a NT compatible driver exists, if required? Has anyone ever installed one of these cards in an NT? Can anyone give us any pointers to sources of information? Thanks in advance Peter Tyers Telecom Research Laboratories p.tyers@trl.oz.au
