Description
It is a very bad idea, that drivers sends output to screen during boot/load. The only time it should do that, is when an error is detected.
Output should however always be sent to Lantran.log , just like other
well written network drivers do it.
A /V swich could be added, if someone would prefer the output
to boot screen - just like implemented in Danis and UNIAUD drivers.
The 'Component' for this ticket should really be 'Generic' as it applies
to all Multimac drivers - but unfortunately there is no such choice.

Since the only thing the driver ever outputs is the sign on banner, there is nothing to be gained by spending the time and effort to write the code to put the banner in the lantran.log. If you don't want to see the sign on banner on the screen, simply use the /Q switch.
