- I just tested Lantastic for tcp/ip and it works great with their ftp/telnet
- BUT it don't support software using packet drivers (I far as I can see).
-
- In my present setup I have 2 network cards, one for Lantastic and the other
- for packet driver (with pktmux). I had hoped Lantastic for tcp/ip used
- packet drivers so I could remove one card (this setup use memory! :-() ).
-
- The tcp/ip driveres supplied by artisoft runs on top on their netbios, is it
- possible to have some kind of packet driver on top of this drivers?
-
- You could try using NB.COM, which is a packet driver that uses
- NetBIOS to do its work. The biggest problem with NB.COM is that you
- then have to translate its packets back into real Ethernet packets
- via a dedicated gateway that has two Ethernet cards.

- -russ <nelson@crynwr.com> What canst *thou* say?
- Crynwr Software Crynwr Software sells packet driver support.
