Wollongong's TCP for DOS has appropriate drivers etc. for DEPCA cards *but*
like PCSA, they only seem to provide full functionality on the supported PC
platforms ie IBM, Compaq etc. Clones of various types (with their myriad
BIOS's) just don't work at all sometimes. This seems to occur with 
monotonous regularity.

When it does work it's just fine :-)
