NET.CFG Options Reference
Link Support Option
NOTE: Each LAN driver resource or frame type requires approximately 200 bytes of
memory.
MAX STACKS number
Configures the maximum number of logical protocol stack IDs the
LSL.COM file can manage.
Each protocol stack can use more than one stack ID resources.
If a protocol stack fails to load because of an out-of-resource condition,
increase the value for this option.
The amount of resident memory the LSL.COM file consumes increases with
larger MAX STACKS values and decreases with smaller values. Thus, you
can conserve some memory by reducing the value to the actual number of
stack IDs used by a particular system.
MEMPOOL number [k]
Configures the size of the memory pool that the LSL program maintains for
allocating buffers for some protocols.
Thus, the notation means to multiply by 1024.

Example To specify that three logical protocol stack IDs can be
loaded, you would place the following lines in your
NET.CFG file:
