ETHCRD is Copyrighted FreeWare by Padgett Peterson that is
designed to find Network Interface Cards (NICs) on PCs using
drivers that are either compliant with the FTP specification
v1.09 or with Novell IPX or ODI specifications. It will check
first for a packet driver and if found will also report the
name of the driver and the interrupt number in use (60h-80h).
The number will be expressed in hexadecimal notation.
If no compliant packet driver is found, a check will be made for
a Novell driver.
If a driver is found, ETHCRD will then inquire as to the hardware
(six byte) address of the NIC and will display that information.
Finally, ETHCRD will compare the manufacturer's id with information
taken from Michael A. Patton's list of Ethernet card manufacturer's
and if a match is found, will display the manufacturer's name. If
more than one name is associated with the id (e.g. Western Digital
which became SMC), both will be displayed.
As usual no guarantees of fitness of any kind are made, if it works,
it works.

Two things:
1) When using PKTMUX it is necessary to tell KERMIT explicitly which interrupt
to use. Giving it the one returned by my ETHCRD 8*) works, any of the
others, ODI, or its default selection does not.
2) When connecting to a MULTICS machine using VT300.INI, the DE echos my
characters but does not seem to recognize the EOL. I do not have this
problem with either NCSA Telnet or FTP's PCTCP Telnet (both emulating.
a VT terminal). Any suggestions ?
Warmly,
Padgett
