13.1 Using NDIS in Windows 95,
Windows 98 and Windows Me
13.1.1 The NDIS WAN CAPI Driver
The NDIS WAN CAPI Driver for Windows 95 provides the capa-
bility for dial-up networking (RAS) over ISDN. The NDIS WAN
CAPI driver is based upon the standardized CAPI 2.0 applica-
tion interface, and can be used with all CAPI 2.0-compliant
ISDN adapters.
To install the driver into MS Windows 95, you will need either
the Microsoft ISDN Accelerator Pack v1.1 or its successor, Mi-
crosoft Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade.
Do not install both of these programs at the same time!
Both programs extend the functionality of Windows 95 Dial-
Up Networking, and form the basis for installation of the
NDIS WAN CAPI Driver for Windows 95. This software can be
found in the "Tools" directory on the CD-ROM.
Both products contain a WAN architecture for Windows 95,
identical to that of Windows NT, with features beyond simple
modem support. This software allows Windows 95 to sup-
port media such as X.25, Frame Relay and ISDN.
Please note that this architecture allows you to set up only
ISDN connections based on the Point-to-Point-Protocol
(PPP) over ISDN and HDLC using Dial-Up Networking, unlike
the ISDN CAPI Port Driver, which provides a UNIMO-
DEM/VCOMM driver. HyperTerminal, CompuServe client
software and similar packages cannot be used with the ISDN
Accelerator Pack. For these packages, please use the ISDN
CAPI Port Driver or cFos.
