First off,

Has anyone found and/or written a Packet Driver for the Solectec
pocket LAN adaptor?  The manufacturer "claimed" to have one, which we
later found out was simply a piece of code that requires PC/TCP (which
we don't use).  Further calls to their Tech Support have resulted in
the revised statement that they have not written a apacket driver for
it.  <sigh>  I've checked the Release 10 collection, and done an
Archie search on 'solec', but to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

On a similar subject, does anyone have reccomendations on a pocket LAN
adaptor (the kind that you attach to LPT1) for which a packet driver
exists, and seems to work well with apps such as NCSA Telnet, POPmail,
Gopher, and other packet-driver based apps?  Again, thank you.
