I've seen posted on Usenet that there is a hack of Netware out
there that uses the Clarkson driver (allowing dual stacks w/ IP)
- question:
1. Who/where/what is the source of the Netware hack?
2. Do you know of any other commerical NOS hacks to the
Clarkson driver (ie; 3com+, Vines, PCSA etc?) - or any other
PD solution.
Thanx in advancejbvb@ftp.COM (James Van Bokkelen) (06/16/89)

Kelly McDonald and others at BYU did the Netware driver that allows it to use a separate Packet Driver, but Univation, Interlan, Excelan and others have done TCP/IP sharing with Netware. BICC Data Networks was the first to do this under DOS, with Proteon close behind (both with private interfaces, not the Packet Driver). > 2.

None of the NOS vendors have taken this kind of interest in the Packet Driver spec so far. 3Com, Banyan and DEC all have their own interface-sharing specs, so I'm not sure they ever will. We've done versions of PC/TCP that co-operate with VINES and PCSA, and we'll have 3+/Open someday (when they fix the bug in the Protocol Manager). -- James B.
