Support for the Packet Driver spec has come from the following organizations and people within those organizations. Order of listing is more or less chronological. John Romkey , who created the spec in the first place. James van Bokkelen , who is maintaining the spec. Karl Auerbach , who adapted MIT's PC/IP to use the packet driver spec and wrote a packet driver for the TRW-2000. Phil Karn , who added a packet driver interface to his code, and supplied C code for the 3c501 and SLIP8250 drivers. Bill Doster , who wrote a NI5010 driver in C for Phil Karn's net. Russell Nelson , who created the packet driver skeleton and adapted several existing drivers to it. Bob Clements , who wrote the WD8003E and 3c503 drivers. Brad Clements , who adapted NCSA Telnet to use the packet driver spec. (Bob and Brad are not related.) The Wollongong Group, in the person of Leo J. McLaughlin , which has committed to supporting the spec. 3Com, in the person of Eric_Siegel@dsd.3mail.3com.com, has been helpful in getting 3Com's documention to packet driver authors. Dan Lanciani , who wrote the 3c523 driver. Denis DeLaRoca , who added hardware handshake to the SLIP8250 driver. John Grover , who optimized the SLIP8250 driver to work at 38.4 Kbps. Rainer Toebbicke who wrote the BICC Isolan driver. Jan Engvald LDC , who improved the wd8003e driver, and added MicroChannel support. Krishnan Gopalan and Gregg Stefancik of Clemson University Engineering Computer Operations, who wrote the packet driver for the 3c505 card. Vance Morrison added starlan support to the wd8003e driver. Brian Fisher , who wrote an "Ethernet" packet driver for the IBM Token Ring Adapter card. Eric Henderson of Brigham Young University, who wrote a packet driver for Novell's NE1000 and NE2000. Joe Doupnik improved head.asm by adding some comments and brought it further into line with the PDS. Joe Doupnik added promiscuous mode to the wd8003e driver. Joe Doupnik modified the PC/IP netwatch to use packet drivers. David Horne <71271.1141@CompuServe.COM>, who wrote a packet driver for Novell's NE2000. Michael Haberler , who wrote an IP over NetBIOS packet driver. Paul Kranenburg , who wrote an IP over IPX packet driver. David E. Johnson , who fixed the 3c505 driver. James A. Harvey , who fixed the AT test in tail.asm and the 3c503 lockup problem. The following freely copyable software supports the packet driver spec. The Packet Driver Specification, version 1.09 Clarkson's (Russ Nelson) collection of packet drivers. Clarkson's (Brad Clements) version of NCSA Telnet. The current version of CUTCP (Clarkson's version of NCSA Telnet) is available for FTP from omnigate.clarkson.edu:pub/ncsa2.2tn/ncsasrc.tar.Z or omnigate.clarkson.edu:pub/ncsa2.2tn/ncsabin.tar.Z Phil Karn's TCP/IP package (freely copyable only for radio amateurs and educational institutions. Others should contact him.) The latest version of NOS is always available for FTP from flash.bellcore.com:pub/ka9q/src.arc Dan Laniani's Harvard version of CMU's version of MIT's version of PC-IP. The source for PC-IP is available from husc6.harvard.edu:/pub/pcip/pcip.tar.Z Executables compiled for the packet drivers are available from the same sources as the packet drivers. Look for pcippkt.arc. BYU's packet driver IPX.COM. A copy is kept on sun.soe.clarkson.edu:/pub/novell/novell.exe The following commercial software supports the packet driver spec. FTP Software's PC/TCP. Sun Microsystem's PC-NFS (unofficially). The Wollongong Group's WIN/TCP (and friends). Gateway Communications Inc's packet driver. D-Link Systems Inc.'s D-Link Ethernet card packet driver. Beame and Whiteside's BWNFS and BWKTEL (NFS and TELNET packages) MD-DOS/IP (available from Wiscware, wiscware@wiscmacc.bitnet) The following companies have donated Ethernet cards to Clarkson University. Racal Interlan donated four NI6510s. AT&T's Bell Labs donated two Starlan 10BaseT cards, an AUI, and a coax adapter. Clarkson is an independent, coeducational university located in northern New York, midway between the Adirondack Mountains and the St. Lawrence River. The University has 3,600 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in programs in its Schools of Engineering, Management, and Science as well as in its Industrial Distribution Program and its Faculty of Liberal Studies.
