I, too, am trying to get the TR packet driver to work on an
IBM XT (DOS 3.3, IBM TR adapter).  The packet driver will start,
and display:

initializing the adapter
opening the adapter

the mau will click, wait about 15-20 seconds and click again
(indicating the adapter is being opened ??) and then the
pc will lock up.  the XT is the older model (old style keyboard)
i have not tried this on an AT or PS/2.  i also tried setting
stacks=9,512 in my config.sys.

I would appreciate ANY help!

thanks,
