Introduction

	Congratulations on your choice of an Ositech Trumpcard Ethernet LAN
	PC Card! We believe you will find it a superior quality product that will
	meet or exceed your Networking needs.
	The Trumpcard Ethernet LAN PC Card is a convenient, dual-media,
	credit-card sized adapter that provides an interface between a PCMCIA
	capable computer and an Ethernet Network.
	Direct connection to a 10BaseT Network is possible via a 10BaseT
	PCMCIA cable only. For 10Base2 connections, a Media Access Module is
	required. Two styles of connectors are provided on the Media Access
	Module, enabling connection to the Network using RJ-45 to connect to
	10BaseT, or BNC to connect to 10Base2.
Note:	This manual is intended as a supplement to the manual(s) supplied
	with your Network system software. Use that document as the primary
	reference source for information about your Network.
	Software installation instructions are given in Section Two for connecting
	to:
