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 <romkey@asylum.sf.ca.usa>, who created the spec in the first place.
James van Bokkelen <jbvb@vax.ftp.com>, who is maintaining the spec.
Karl Auerbach <karl@trwind.trw.com>, who adapted MIT's PC/IP to use the packet
driver spec and wrote a packet driver for the TRW-2000.
Phil Karn <karn@ka9q.bellcore.com>, who added a packet driver interface to
his code, and supplied C code for the 3c501 and SLIP8250 drivers.

Phil Karn's net.

Eric Henderson <eric@dcsprod.byu.edu> of Brigham Young University, who wrote
a packet driver for Novell's NE1000 and NE2000.
Joe Doupnik <jrd@cc.usu.edu> improved head.asm by adding some comments and
brought it further into line with the PDS, added promiscuous mode to
the wd8003e driver, and 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 <mah@wu-wien.ac.at>, who wrote an IP over NetBIOS packet
driver.
Paul Kranenburg <rulcs!kranenbu@relay.eu.net>, who wrote an IP over IPX packet
driver.
David E. Johnson <dave@tacky.cs.olemiss.edu>, who fixed the 3c505 driver.
James A. Harvey <IJAH400@indyvax.iupui.edu>, who fixed the AT test in tail.asm
and the 3c503 lockup problem.
Anto Prijosoesilo <anto@anto.acs.unt.edu>, who fixed a bug related to DMA in
the ni6510 driver.
John Mann <johnm@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au>, who submitted some code to delay the
etopen and convert between Novell's pseudo IEEE 802.3 packets and
Ethernet packets.
Drew Daniel Perkins <ddp+@andrew.cmu.edu>, who designed and implemented
as_send_pkt (asynchronous send) for the wd8013ebt, and improved
pktsend in the process
Katie Stevens <kstevens@ucdavis.edu>, who wrote a LocalTalk driver.
Steven Wallace <wallaces@ucs.indiana.edu>, who added a hack for MS-Windows.
Reinhard Strebler <RZ40@DKAUNI2.BITNET>, who hacked on termin, and slip8250.
Martin Knoblauch <XBR2D96D@DDATHD21.BITNET>, who fixed ni5010
promiscuous mode.
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.
Available from the same place you got this file from.
NCSA's Telnet.
zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50).
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
Vance Morrison's PCROUTE.
There is a beta version of PCroute with packet driver support
available on accvuax.nwu.edu (129.105.49.1) in pub/pcroute/exp.
In this directory you will find two files 'packpack.exe' and
'packslip.exe'. These files are compiled versions of pcroute
the first configured to be used with two packet drivers, and
the second configured for one packet driver and one slip line.
In addition the pub/pcroute/exp directory is the standard PCroute
documentation modfied to include packet driver details, as well
as a file 'packet.txt' which is a sample installtion of the
packpack.exe code.
So if you have wanted to use PCroute, but didn't have WD8003E
cards here is your chance to try it out. If you do try out the
code, please send me a note saying so (so I can know if anyone
really cares), and also send any comments/bugs of interest.
The code will not be nearly as speedy as the native driver, but
I am not sure how much (I estimate about 1/3 the speed). Any
comments/measurments on the speed would also be appreciated.
At present the source for the additional code is not available
because it is easer for me to wait until I have had some feedback
and then simply integrate it into the standard release.
Joe Doupnik's version of MIT's NETWATCH.
netlab.usu.edu, 129.123.1.11, in directory
[anonymous.netwatch]. It's a VMS machine so do cd [.netwatch]
with the brackets and the dot.
Stan's Own Server (NFS server).
Available from same place as Clarkson collection of packet drivers.
Look for pcip_sos.arc (source changes to pcip), and sos_pkt.exe
(pcip_sos compiled for packet drivers).
PC-NFS drivers.
Available from same place as Clarkson collection of packet drivers.
Look for compat.tar.Z, or compat.zip (identical contents, different
archiver). Note that you need to purchase PC-NFS from Sun in order
to use this package.
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)
Cabletron supplies a packet driver with their Ethernet cards.
The following companies have donated Ethernet cards to Clarkson University.

a coax adapter.
3Com donated 1 3c501, 2 3c503's, 2 3c505's, 1 3c523, and two EtherLink
16 cards.
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.
