[comp.protocols.appletalk] quickmail on pcs w ethernet card

let's ;eave that for now.

anyway i'm using western digital ethercard+ for our pcs.  now there
are no atalk drivers from apple for this card.  the way i've been
getting qmail to run is by loading tops into memory first which
supplies me with atalk then i'm ok.  now i have some users that have
no need for tops.  i could try to figure out the minimum tops files
to load in to get atalk but that's probably ilegal.  i've asked ce
software but they say they won't get into the driver business and
apple isn't planning on supporting the western digital card so i'm
kind of stuck.  someone pointed out earlier that it was pretty easy
to write a driver but i wouldn't know how to go about this.  right 
now i think my best bet is hacking at the tops stuff to get a mini 
driver going but again that's not legal.  

any ideas??
