---------
A Class 15 Packet Driver is specific to MERIT and I have seen no
specification of it (it is not in the official Packet Driver specs other
than to note the assignment of type 1 to MERIT). Note also MERIT's software
is not revealed in source code form nor even in API form. So I stand firm on
the comment about non-standardized PPP interfaces.
Windows drivers are neither of interest or applicability to this
discussion.
