At this moment, the only versions of Netware that support the Packet Driver spec are available from Novell OEMs who have done the modifications themselves. These are: MICOM-Interlan (NI5210, NI9210), Univation (NC-516), Sytek (don't know the model #), and Schneider & Koch (AT & PS/2 cards). Nobody has done the 3C500 yet, although I have been talking with someone who says that the mods are easy, and can be done in a generic way such that all Novell Ethernet drivers can support the spec. We'll see... BICC Data Networks and Proteon provide Netware that can co-exist with PC/TCP, but they didn't use the Packet Driver spec. James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.

Novell has a nasty habit in their shell (anet3) of continually checking the interrupt vector to see if anyone has messed around with it. If it has changed, they change it back to their stuff. Novell should be able to send you a patch to get around that problem. We had it at one time and was able to change an instruction to an unconditional jump and it made it work.
