The 9.x release of the Clarkson collection of packet drivers is now available from SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.ka9q-tcpip> DRIVERS.ZIP Clarkson packet drivers wo/src for KA9Q TCP/IP DRIVERSS.ZIP Clarkson packet drivers w/src for KA9Q TCP/IP Please discard the 8.x release, as the -n switch is broken in it. The packet drivers are for MS-DOS, and serve to hide the difference between network cards, and allow multiple protocol stacks to access the same card. Most often people are interested in running Novell's Netware and TCP/IP at the same time. Summary of changes in the 9.x release: The -n switch works again. It was broken in the 8.x release. Bugs fixed: ibmtoken, others. The Clarkson packet driver collection Availability The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by archive-server, and by modem. They come in two flavors -- executables only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip). All of the following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip. Mail: I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K 3.5" disk. I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a purchse order and I will bill you for $22. NY residents add 7% sales tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping. If you send a check, please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.
