	Netwatch / PC/IP version 9.6 works ok, but to let Netwatch grab
packets promiscuously a modern Packet Driver is required. Version 6 or
the current 6a is recommended. Version 5 won't cut the mustard. Do an
anonymous ftp to  sun.soe.clarkson.edu  and obtain the latest Pkt Drvrs.
	Please note that I have not made any changes to the 3Com board
code to accomodate promiscuous mode; as noted, the Netwatch support is
really for Packet Drivers. However, using the material in the /packet
directory of PC/IP one can make the changes to particular boards. Generally
speaking, the Packet Driver code is far better than the ancient stuff
for boards in PC/IP.
