[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] NetCure and Packet Drivers

efb@suned1.Nswses.Navy.MIL (Everett F Batey) (03/03/91)

What are examples of the component _packed drivers_ upon which to load 
the many products such as NetCure, in this case .. does the .SYS file
that comes with Sun PC-NFS qualify, does some component of ka9q nos or
other public access product fill this need ?  e.g. for 3C503s ?  Thanks.

"Packet drivers" are those bits of software (usually TSRs, but
sometimes actual MS-DOS device drivers) that comply with FTP
Software's Packet Driver Specification

A number of hardware manufacturers supply their own packet drivers.
Clarkson University also distributes a freely copyable collection of
packet drivers

source, or
