See my last posting for some of the history of PC-NFS and 3Com. In theory
one could write such a driver as you describe, but you should be aware that
according to 3Com NDIS is the way to go. In fact the huge number of
"wins" claimed for NDIS suggests that we (i.e. the PC networking
folks who deal with IP networks) urgently need to look at doing
NDIS-over-PacketDriver and PacketDriver-over-NDIS compatibility
modules. JVB? Russ? Karl? John?
