- 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.
-
- Hmmm... I've seen their driver disk, and they do indeed have a
- packet driver for it. I don't know why their tech support is so
- clueless, but <ahem> that happens sometimes with tech support people. :)

- 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.
-
- Well, I wouldn't recommend Xircom because they distributed my packet
- driver for a year in violation of the copyright. I'd suggest one of
- the following companies:
-
- D-Link - 714-455-1688
- Solectek - 619-450-1220
- Accton - 415-266-9800
- Compulan - 408-922-6888
-
- Please tell them that Russell Nelson sent you because of their past
- support for packet drivers and free software in general.
