The Xircom driver, historically, has not handled packets of 1514 bytes or
more. You should be able to use any version of Xircom packet driver with
our PC/TCP if you set your window size to 1400 bytes or less, provided the
other side of your connection does not insist on an MSS of 1460. It is 
possible that the most recent version of the driver fixes this problem -
I believe someone in technical support is testing it for you.

Xircom is not unique in this problem. It has cropped up from time to time
with other packet drivers. Incidently, we use in house all the drivers that
companies send us for distribution. If we can't use it, we don't ship it.
