Or, as Russ Nelson >suggested, you can use the Clarkson University StarLAN packet driver. > Leo and Russ are both correct. NDIS and Packet Drivers are available for the Starlan family of cards (10baseT, 1base2 and 10base2) and Wollongong's Win/TCP for DOS will run on either driver. The Packet Drivers can be obtained from either Russ's archives at Clarkson or from AT&T (contact your AT&T Computer Systems rep). If you need to obtain the NDIS driver, you will need to contact your AT&T rep. You want to get version 3.2.1 or later of AT&T's NDIS MAC driver (attcsma.dos), (I think Leo tested 3.2.1). If your AT&T contact dosn't know what's going on, have them contact me.
