DEC's Vaxmate Tech Reference has some programming information on these cards,
but I don't know of anybody except DEC that has written drivers for them.
One major reason for this is that DEC supplies a Packet-Driver-like interface
driver (called DLL) with PCSA and DECNet/DOS, which provides a common software
interface for all cards supported by either DEC product.  This is also
specified in the Vaxmate Tech Ref.  If you have either of the DEC products,
their manuals will tell you how to install the DEPCA.

At the moment, the only freeware or commercial TCP/IP I know of that
supports the DLL interface is our PC/TCP.
