Many interesting projects arise from rather pointless objectives, and in
this case, I believe we have the perfect example of a truly pointless
objective. But, to continue this one step further (yes I know this isn't
really attempting to solve the original problem), instead of trying to tie
into the Winsock API, would it be feasible or even possible tie a DOS packet
driver into the Windows based NDIS3 drivers (I believe MicroSoft's PPP
driver is only supplied as an NDIS3 Windows based driver). It seems to me
there would still be the problem of multiplexing multiple IP stacks (very
undesireable).

P.S. Just trying to promote some more interesting and irrelevant discussion.
