- A number of people responded and suggested that I should rather use the TSR
- WINPKT.COM, rather than the -w option on the packet driver. Thanks for the
- advice but... I had already tried this without any luck. However, someone
- did mention that pdipx.com does not need the packet driver to load with the
- -n option because it does the necessary conversion itself. THANKS!!! This
- was the reason why I could not get pdipx.com to work.
-
- Yet another however, I did mention (see NOTE above) that I tried to
- regenerate the pdipx.com file to see if this would work....it does not! I
- get no response from the F/S and this is consistent whether or not I load
- the packet driver with the -n option. An unfortunate side-effect of this is
- that, if the F/S is running 3.11, then it hangs solid!!!
- ANY IDEAS?
-
- Once again, thanks to all those who offered advice. :-)
