I am looking for a public domain TCP/IP package that supports the
DEC DEPCA ethernet board (revision E) I have tried the Clarkson
Universtiy packet driver but it doesn't work. Does anybody have some
references

Make sure you specify your configuration on the driver command line since the autoconfigure option does not work. Alas, a DEPCA is not a DEPCA is not a DEPCA. They changed the board incompatibly between revision D and E, so that revision E does not work with the existing packet driver. Also, the Turbo DEPCA gets the Ethernet address wrong, although it works otherwise. -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
