Part #1
=======
Is anybody running WinQVT/Net on a WD8003E card successfully?

I obtained the WNQVTNET.ZIP file from Simtel but there was no sign of
the DRIVERS.ARC file mentioned in the doc.  I may, therefore, have
missed something.

Having obtained the clarkson WD8003E.COM packet driver, I tried
simply adding it to my present setup (loading it then PktInt just
before a batch Pause then Win /s) - a reboot ensued.

I eventually wound up booting from a floppy to get a config.sys that
loaded only HIMEM.SYS and an autoexec.bat that sets up a path, loads
the packet driver and PKTINT.COM and starts WIN /S.

You guessed it, I still get a lock up when I start WinQVT/Net.

I use WD8003E 0x80 0x5 0x280 0xD000
(I took the 80H from the description of PKTINT, the int=5 and I/O=280
are correct and I believe the driver sets the RAM base address

 (though I did get an "suggested address already in use" message with
 C800 which surprises me as that is what I normally use
 )
).

Part #2
=======
I normally use my ethernet card to run PC-NFS, currently I exit
windows, run NCSA telnet then reboot when I want to log in to the
server under Unix.  I would love to be able to run 4 or 5 Unix
sessions on different servers in windows without even having to exit
Windows (plus a background ftp).
The problem (apart from not going, see above) is how will I go using
the one ethernet card for two lots of IP traffic (PC-NFS & WinQVT)?
I understand that I cannot have two stacks using the same protocol on
the same ethernet card.
How about it?  Must be lots of people out there using Windows on
PC-NFS who would like to be able to do this.

Thanks in advance,
Tony
