or AppleTalk protocol in Windows NT Workstation 3.5, the following error
messages appear:

When you select Router Configuration, the following error appears:

CAUSE

(EL59X.SYS) from the 3COM Bulletin Board Service (BBS) at (408) 980-8204
or from the AskThreeCom forum on CompuServe. The file to download is
