  28. I have it working, but I am only using the Beta NTS/2, not the GA version.      
  29. We should be getting our GA versions when we get our LAN Server 3.0.            
  30. I have used the IBMTOKEN packet driver (or shim?) successfully with             
  31. CUTCP.  The packet driver _MUST_ be written to 802.2, as the IBMTOKEN           
  32. driver is.  It must be 802.2 because that is what NTS/2 virtualizes, along      
  33. with NETBIOS also.                                                              
  34. Good luck,

  37. If you are using the IBMTOKEN driver already and can't get it to work, please   
  38. repost and I will try to provide more specific help.
