[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Is there a packet driver for Artisofts Lantastic ethernet card?

lawrence@nvanbc.UUCP (Lawrence Harris) (12/01/90)

I have just inherited a half dozen Lantastic ethernet cards (or I assume
they are ethernet cards) made by Aritisoft.  I don't want to run Lantastic
but could use them for tcp/ip if I can find a packet driver for them.  Hence,
does anyone know if there exists a packet driver for these cards?  I have
looked in the drivers distribution that generally goes with NCSA telnet
and don't see one.  It looks like it is similar to the Western Digital
cards.

If anyone knows, please mail me and I will let the rest of you know what I
find out.

Are these AE-2's?  If so then they can be jumpered to be NE-2000 compatible  
(there is of course a clarkson driver for the NE-2000).  If they are AE-2's,
then they will say so along the top of the card.  There will be a jumper  
at the bottom along the back edge of the card.  It will have an 'A' position 
and an 'N' position.  Set it to the 'N' position and it will act like an
NE-2000.  I have used it with the Clarkson driver and it does work.
