- Don't know about the packet driver, but an ODI driver certainly exists and
- you can use the odipkt.com driver....works just fine...

- Long ago, when it was politically correct (i.e. when they were doing business
- with Microsoft and Novell hadn't bought them yet), Excelan did an NDIS driver
- for the EXOS205. It's known to work with DIS_PKT, and is available from
- vax.ftp.com. Since a packet driver would require loading code onto the board
- somehow, and Excelan's support for vendors that used their "nx" OEM down-load
- module vanished in 1988 or so, no direct-to-the board Packet Driver exists.
