I'm helping a group that has a pile of ATs with 3Com 3C501 Ethernet cards in them. They want to use Apple's AppleShare PC on them, but the distribution has no 3C501 driver for O[D|L]I, the Novell/Apple interface spec. Does anyone know if there is an "MLID" (the O[D|L]I term for an interface card driver) for the 3C501 anywhere? Alternately, I think I heard someone claim that it would be reasonable to write an O[D|L]I to packet driver glue function that would give O[D|L]I users access to the large set of packet driver drivers. Has anyone heard about such a thing becoming real? - RL "Bob" Morgan Networking Systems Stanford

Well, if you listen to Byte Magazine, there *is* no such thing as the packet
drivers, and the only two networking "standards" are NDIS and ODI (or whatever
the real name is).
