Oracle's SQL-Net/TCP for a PC-based SQL client supports FTP's PC-TCP kernel and allows the clients to communicate across the Ethernet using Packet Drivers. Who knows of any Public Domain PC-TCP kernel? It is not going to be viable to buy n copies of PC-TCP as all the features such as Telnet and ftp are unnecessary, only the ability to speak to Packet Drivers will be needed. Alternately, anyone know how to get SQL-Net/TCP talking _directly_ to a packet driver (ie without the PC-TCP kernel)? Any help with this would be appreciated, but please mail me as well as posting to the group(s) as I do not subscribe to all groups and expiry often trashes stuff before I can read it if I go away.

As far as I know (which is very little), KA9Q might be what you are
looking for.

You really do not need to buy the entire PC/TCP package. You only need the kernel implementation. This is available from FTP Software as PC-K210 (for the packet driver version) and costs $200 quantity 1. Substantial discounts are available for quantity purchases. If you need telnet, ftp, tn3270, etc., then you will need the complete package ($400 quantity 1). I don't know if you can run both FTP's kernel and a PD package since the packet driver can't tell which TCP/IP application should get the information - just conjecture here. I am not affiliated with FTP Software - just like their products. Mark Eggers, WDI
