- Indeed, you are correct Steve. The "-w" option on a PD line means
- drop packets if the current application is not active. Winpkt's purpose
- in life is to store a packet and ask Windows to invoke the correct virtual
- machine so that delivery can be completed. Thus omit the "-w" switch.
- The winpkt command line is of the form
- winpkt new_int old_int
- The wise strategy is make new_int < old_int so that programs which scan
- upward through interrupts looking for a Packet Driver will see winpkt on
- new_int. Don't use old_int for another application when winpkt is operating.
