No, I tried on an interlan card with mixed success (would start up, but die)

The .doc file talks about the clarkson packet drivers AND it tells you WHERE to
FTP them from.  Arguably they could be made available on cica as well, but why 
duplicate?

The readme file with the packet drivers says that if you plan to use windows,
there is a special flag (-w) required before any of the hex info you supply.
	(WD8003E -w 0x80 0x5 0x280 0xD000)

WinQVT/net says (in the readme file (lines 115-117) NOT TO USE 80h as that is 
what is used by pkinit.  It is up to you to select another software interrupt 
that is currently not used by anything else.  On my machine, 60h works well.

On the interlan card, the driver DOES NOT sate the base address of the card.  

The card needs to be configured correctly first, then the pertinent info is 
passed to the packet driver so that it know exactly where to "talk".  The 
WD8003E card may be different - I don't know.

I too would like to do that, but as you point out to entities running tcp/ip
do not work ... so as far as I know, we are stuck.  If someone knows of a way,
PLEASE let me know ... thanks
