[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] KA9Q with MOCOM NI5010

rcdswal@dutrun.UUCP (Guus van der Wal) (08/25/88)

This must have been asked many times before, but I began to
use Ethernet only recently.
I have a MICOM interlan NI5010 ethernet adapter in my IBM pc/at.
I also have Phil Karn's KA9Q TCP-IP software. The KA9Q docs
only talk about the 3COM 3C500 ethernet card.
 
Is there anybody out ther who has (made) KA9Q working with MICOM ??
Thanks in advance
                          Guus

Ha!  Interesting that you should ask that question, since I have recently
ported Bill Doster's NI5010 driver from C (to be compiled in) to a packet
driver.  This is not tested, however.  You (and in fact, anyone who is
interested) can either debug it yourself or wait until I get a NI5010
loaned to me from another department, which may take as long as two weeks.
I'll mail a copy to anyone who's really hot to get a copy...

Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short staff,
you oppose its reality.  If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the
facts.  Now, what do you wish to call it?"

I have recently added support for FTP Software's Packet Driver
interface. This allows the code to use any packet driver that follows
the spec. Several people have so far contributed drivers for the following
boards:

TRW PC-2000
NI5010
WD8003

and others are on the way (SLIP, 3C501). A major revision of the package
should be out in a month or so; watch for it.
