I am looking for a public domain TCP/IP package that supports the DEC DEPCA ethernet board (revision E) I have tried the Clarkson Universtiy packet driver but it doesn't work. Does anybody have some references -- Axel Schweiger, University of Colorado, Boulder, CIRES Tel: 303-492-2963 Email: axel@frostbite.colorado.edu schweiger@colorado.bitnet

Make sure you specify your configuration on the driver command line since the autoconfigure option does not work. Alas, a DEPCA is not a DEPCA is not a DEPCA. They changed the board incompatibly between revision D and E, so that revision E does not work with the existing packet driver. Also, the Turbo DEPCA gets the Ethernet address wrong, although it works otherwise. -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
