- Yes, indeed. You are thinking of the "arcether" packet driver which does just
- that. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of using Arcnet via a packet
- driver. Another major advantage of arcether is that it supports RFC1201
- instead of the older RFC1051. This provides interoperability with other
- Arcnet TCP/IP software such as Novell's or Datapoint's.
