I am testing a Cabletron DNI ethernet card for my pc, and want to be able to use the BYU Novell IPX.COM generated to use the packet drivers. The cabletron card has its own packet driver that I have found to be compatible with NCSA Telnet. But the driver doesn't have a -n option like the Clarkson drivers vers. 9.0, to allow the 8137/802.3 packet conversion to work with dual Novell/TCP protocol stacks. Is there a Clarkson Packet Driver yet that will work with the Cabletron cards? Specifically the Cabletron UTP cards. Thanks for any suggestions.

Arrggghhhh! I've told Cabletron that they're welcome to the little snipper
of code that implements -n. I'll forward your posting to them, and tell
them that Yet Another person wants -n.

Cabletron has supported concurrent 802.3 Novell with Blue Book Ethernet for some time. I think it started in version 1.02.00 of their packet drivers. Check the documentation included on the DNI software disk for information about the option. -- Stephen Trier Work: trier@ins.cwru.edu Case Western Reserve University Home: sct@seldon.clv.oh.us Information Network Services

Actually, the packet driver included with the Cabletron card should be used with the IPX.COM generated from the NSHPD.OBJ (version 1.05EC) found in the distribution. Since that IPX.COM is Econfigurable, it supports the 802.3 packets by default, and must be Econfiged to support Ethernet_II. We've got several of these cards in use on campus that are supporting 802.3 Netware IPX packets and TCP/IP as well. Terry C.
