I'm helping a group that has a pile of ATs with 3Com 3C501 Ethernet
cards in them.  They want to use Apple's AppleShare PC on them, but
the distribution has no 3C501 driver for O[D|L]I, the Novell/Apple
interface spec.  Does anyone know if there is an "MLID" (the O[D|L]I
term for an interface card driver) for the 3C501 anywhere?

Alternately, I think I heard someone claim that it would be reasonable
to write an O[D|L]I to packet driver glue function that would give
O[D|L]I users access to the large set of packet driver drivers.  Has
anyone heard about such a thing becoming real?
