THE CRYNWR PACKET DRIVER COLLECTION
Packet drivers are small interface programs between IBM PC (and
compatible) network hardware and PC applications programs. They are
similar to device drivers, but with two important differences:
1. They present a standardized interface to the application,
independent of the particular network board.
2. They can be used by more than one application at once.
The packet driver specification was developed and made public by FTP
Software Inc, and the effort to develop and distribute free (but
copyright) packet driver software is led by Russ Nelson, formerly of
Clarkson University, now of Crynwr Software.
Packet driver software and documentation may be ftp'd from Columbia
University host kermit.columbia.edu, directory packet-drivers and its
subdirectories. If you don't have ftp access to Columbia University, you
may order packet drivers on diskette by postal mail -- request a catalog
and order form from kermit@columbia.edu or call +1 212 854-3703, or fax +1
212 663-8202, or write to:
