Ok, so does anyone know if there is a possibility to redirect the packet driver's packets to another IP stack temporarily? This problem can't be rediscovered very seldom, I think, so maybe someone solved it before? A possible way would be to have a 'push' & 'pop' executables, who operated on a registration stack. Only the registration on top of the stack would get the IP packets. Then one could have a .bat file saying something like: push IP telbin pop IP when one wanted to start telbin, and PC/NFS had control over the packetdriver. Of course NFS wouldn't be accessible from within telbin.
