-
- One packet driver works for both cards, and it is included on the support
- disk which comes with the cards. If you don't have the support disk,
- the packet driver is part of the Crynwr packet driver collection. I have
- attached the HOWTOGET.IT file from that collection below...
-
- BTW, works fine with NCSA Telnet.
