The Crynwr drivers support many Ethernet adapter boards, including those from 3COM, Telesystems, AT&T, Digital, Mitel, HP, BICC, NCR, Novell, Interlan, MICOM, Racal/Interlan, NTI, Tiara, Ungermann-Bass, and Western Digital. The Packet Driver Specification v1.09 is available via: file://vax.ftp.com/pub/packet-d.ascii, file://vax.ftp.com/pub/ppacket-d.mss PC-NFS drivers available in file://ftp.sun.soe.clarkson.edu/pub/packet-drivers/compat.zip (requires Sun's PC-NFS).

Another source of NDIS drivers is the Windows for Workgroups package. New drivers are available for download from Microsoft Product Support Services, available at (206)936-MSDL, or on CompuServe or GEnie. The Windows Driver LIbrary (WDL), which includes printer, display and network drivers is also available on disk from Microsoft by calling (800)426-9400. The NDIS spec is available as: file://vax.ftp.com/pub/ndis-mac.v101.txt, file://vax.ftp.com/pub/ndis-mac.v201.txt Suggestion SLIPPER v1.3 Free CSLIPPER Free SLIPPER and CSLIPPER get rave reviews for being less obtrusive than some other SLIP/CSLIP drivers so that the machine loses fewer clock ticks. The result is that the clock stays more accurate. SLIP/CSLIP operation is supported at up to 57.6 Kbps on a 486. CSLIPPER is a version which supports Van Jacobson header compression. Supports PKTMUX. SLIPPER is available from: file://ftp.utas.edu.au/pc/trumpet/slipper/slipper.zip file://biochemistry.cwru.edu/pub/slipper/slippr13.zip CSLIPPER is available from: file://biochemistry.cwru.edu/pub/slipper/cslipper.exe P. Tattam, Programmer; Psychology Department, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 61-02-202346; mailto:peter@psychnet.psychol.utas.edu.au Recommendation ETHERPPP Free Glenn McGregor, formerly of Merit Network, has released ETHERPPP, a PPP packet driver that simulates a class 1 (Ethernet) packet driver. It works well enough, is simple to configure, but takes up too much RAM (121K). Available as: file://merit.edu/pub/ppp/etherppp.zip Recommendation PKTMUX v1.2 Free This program allows multiple TCP/IP protocol stacks to use a single packet driver. It can also run over shims such as DIS_PKT; I have used it with four or more simultaneous DOS-based applications. Works great. However, if you are only using a single DOS TCP/IP application under Windows, use WINPKT instead, since it takes less memory and is faster. Available via file://ftp-ns.rutgers.edu/pub/msdos/wattcp/pktmux12.exe, or file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/dos/pktmux12.exe, file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/dos/pktmux12.txt Downright speculation ODITRPKT v2.0 Supports packet drivers over ODI and token ring. Available as file://datacomm.ucc.okstate.edu/pub/oditrpkt/BETA12.ZIP Recommendation WINPKT free WINPKT is needed for running DOS applications with built-in TCP/IP stacks under Windows, as well as for some Windows-based TCP/IP stacks (suck as Trumpet Winsock). Compatible with ODIPKT. Available at file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/slip/dos/winpkt.com Downright speculation PKTINT PKTINT is included with the non-Winsock-compatible version of WinQVT/Net to communicate with the real mode packet driver. Available at file://biochemistry.micro.umn.edu/pub/qvtnet/qvtne397.zip *Recommendation DIS_PKT free Provides a packet driver over an NDIS driver. This is useful when you need to run both packet driver software (such as KA9Q or NCSA Telnet) and NDIS-based software (such as Chameleon NFS). The latest version works with WFW v3.11, and includes a help file WFW.TXT with sample PROTOCOL.INI files, etc. Available via: file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/qvtnet/dis_pkt9.zip file://netlab.usu.edu/novell.dir/dis_pkt9.zip Suggestion PDEther v1.03 Supports ODI over packet drivers. Although I haven't had much success with it, others have used it on thousands of machines and found it better than ODIPKT, especially under Windows. Available as: file://sjf-lwp.novell.com/odi/pdether/getpde103.zip *Recommendation Odipkt v3.0 Supports packet drivers over ODI. This is the recommended method of getting Novell NetWare to coexist with a packet-driver based TCP/IP stack. Compatible with WINPKT.

Recommendation CIRA RARP server Free This is a RARP server that runs under DOS, and can give out an IP address from a pool. Available as file://pine.circa.ufl.edu/pc/rarp/rarp.zip. Recommendation RARP client Free This is a RARP client that can store the retrieved IP address in a DOS environmental variable, for later substitution into a file. Available as file://pine.circa.ufl.edu/pc/rarpset.zip. Recommendation BOOTPQ v1.2 Free BOOTPQ is a BOOTP client that can take an IP address extracted via BOOTP and put it into a DOS environmental variable. Available as file://biochemistry.cwru.edu/pub/dos/bootpq12.zip Recommendation BOOTP Free A bootp server available via file://biochemistry.cwru.edu/pub/dos/bootp.zip or file://ftp-ns.rutgers.edu/pub/msdos/wattcp/bootp.zip WINDOWS SOCKETS IMPLEMENTATIONS Recommendation Trumpet WinSock A shareware version of Windows Sockets that runs over packet drivers and requires WINPKT. Available as: file://ftp.utas.edu.au/pc/trumpet/winsock/twsk10a.zip, file://ftp.utas.edu.au/pc/trumpet/winsock/winapps.zip, or file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/trumpwsk/twsk10a.zip, file://biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/trumpwsk/winapps.zip P. Tattam, Programmer; Psychology Department, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 61-02-202346; mailto:peter@psychnet.psychol.utas.edu.au Recommendation Dialer DIALER is a Windows program that will dial up a host and then run a series of WIndows applications. It isn't needed with Trumpet Winsock anymore, since this now has its own built-in scripting language. Available at: file://ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3/util/dialexe.zip Recommendation Chameleon Demo Free This is a a demonstration version of the NetManage Chameleon TCP/IP stack. Quoting from the install instructions: To install the software, copy each .zip file onto a separate floppy. Insert diskette #1 into drive A: type win a:setup (assuming you have the installation floppy in the A drive). You will be prompted for all the other relevant information (i.e. adapter type, IP address, subnetmask, etc.). You can use Custom to configure some optional information (i.e. default gateway, DNS server, etc.). During the installation you will be prompted for a serial number. The valid serial number is DEMO_520045343970001, and the Key is F39B. The included software is only valid for 30 days from March 3, 1994. So, some time in April you'll get a license violation message, at which time you are supposed to run out and purchase a legal copy (we will not object to purchases prior to the expiration day). The winsock.dll provided in this release is compatible with the Windows Sockets version 1.1 specification. If you find any problems, please send your e-mail to winsock@netmanage.com. Actually, we want to hear from you even if you don't have any problems.

Available at: file://lister.cc.ic.ac.uk/pub/wingopher/hgopher2.4.zip Downright Speculation WLPRSPL v4.0 Shareware This is a windows sockets-compatible lpr implementation that offers support for multiple queues. Be aware that LPQ doesn't run with LAN Workplace for DOS, since it doesn't fully implement Windows Sockets. It also runs with wslpd's new "raw spooler," provided that you get lpd up and running prior to printing, since it will timeout quickly. Also, remember to name the spool files correctly and once you set the default spool directory, don't specify a full path in defining a spool file. Contact: mailto:th.heil@kfa-juelich.de Available as: file://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps/wlprsp40.zip.

I got it working with no problem. Be aware that the Òprotocol searchÓ option can take quite a while; you may have be asking the client to individually test hundreds of ports, at a second per port. Available at: file://ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3/winsock/winfsp12.zip *Recommendation WinQVT/Net v3.97 Shareware $40 Students $20 QVTNet is a Windows v3.1 application that supports FTP client and server (not fully graphical; commands are entered at the bottom of the window), telnet (up to 15 simultaneous sessions), mail (SMTP and POP3), NNTP (up to 30 newsgroups) and lpr. It is written as a DLL, and comes in several versions: a Windows Sockets-compatible version (recommended); a 32-bit version; and a version with it's own built-in TCP/IP stack. The version with the built-in stack requires that you load PKTINT in DOS before running it, and also requires you to supply your own packet drivers, and is compatible with AppleTalk as well as class 6 SLIP drivers. Note: the 16-bit Winsock version of WinQVT/Net has problems under Windows NT; use the 32-bit version instead.
