The software device driver DTALK.EXE must be loaded into memory before the
PC Interface board is used with the AppleTalk network. This device driver
can either be loaded into memory when your computer starts (by modifying
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file) or run from the MS-DOS prompt. If you change the
default board address of the card, the DTALK software driver must be
informed of the change through a switch setting. The syntax of the command
used for installing the device driver is as follows
where "xxx" denotes the new address.
