The document is from 3Com and Microsoft. Beware that this is not a slim document, and NDIS compliant code tends to follow suit. There are two other packet multiplexer "standards" in use today: Packet Drivers (Clarkson Univ, anon ftp to sun.soe.clarkson.edu, distributors) and Open Data Link Interface, ODI, from Novell. Documentation on the latter is available from Novell (for a fee as I understand it). Joe D.
