If so, then most DOS TCP/IPs can't use it, because they don't understand the ARCNet encapsulation. If, on the contrary, it 'fakes' a Class 1 (Ethernet) environment, most DOS TCP/IPs are going to have trouble with the MTU issue. Yes, it's a class 8 driver. Phil Karn's TCP/IP package can use it, as of the latest version on flash.bellcore.com. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
