ubnic.com is for Ungermann's NIC card, not for the NIU card (and therfore
dosn't work on the NIU - it dosn't even work on the NIC-PS2. It only works
on the NIC-ISA).

1. I think Russ mentioned that there was a NIU packet driver in the works, so
you could wait for version 8 of the packet drivers.

2. You can run your packet driver application on top of an NDIS driver via
FTP's dis_pkt (archived on ftp.vax.com). The NDIS driver for the NIU is 
available from UB for a charge of $50.
