[comp.protocols.appletalk] atalk.sys replacement?

jlp@hamblin.math.byu.edu (Jan L. Peterson) (03/22/91)

I am looking for a driver for PC localtalk cards (like Tops FlashCard)
that will give my software the raw LAP packets, not a DDP interface
like ATALK.SYS does.  I've looked at the clarkson packet driver
"localtlk" and it doesn't do what I want.  It provides a packet
interface using ATALK.SYS that gives me IP packets.  I want the raw
LAP packets.

Does such a thing exist?  If not, where can I find some information on
writing one?

The ultimate purpose of this is to produce a freely available software
package that will run on a cheap PC clone and emulate a (Kinetics?
Shiva?) FastPath.

Thanks in advance for any help.
