Has anybody tried Odi driver TOKEN with ODITRPKT shim with Trumpet
Winsock? Does it work? I'd be very interested to hear!

I used this quite successfully when I was working at a token ring site.  You
need the odi driver for the card, oditrpkt, and pktmux.  I never could get the
winpkt thing to work, but the pktmux/pktdrv thing worked out fine, along with
trumpet winsock.

Sample net.cfg file for odi/novell:

Link support
    buffers 4 4188
    mempool 4k
Link Driver Token
    Protocol    IPX    E0    Token-Ring
    Protocol    IP    0800    Token-Ring_SNAP
    Protocol    ARP    0806    Token-Ring_SNAP
    Protocol    RARP    8035    Token-Ring_SNAP
    Frame    Token-Ring
    Frame    Token-Ring_SNAP

Sample network startup file (in autoexec.bat):


lh lsl
lh token
lh ipxodi
lh oditrpkt 2 98
lh pktmux 2 62
lh pktdrv 61 62
lh pktdrv 60 62
emsnetx
c:
cd c:\


Attach your winsock onto vector 61; that way, any upward-searching non-winsock
apps will find the 0x60 vector, and not interfere with winsock.

The only caveat to this is that the router was a Novell server configured to
understand token-ring_SNAP; I'm not sure how this would work with other types
of routers.
