Perhaps they mean it will work with the Packet Driver standard
originally defined by FTP Inc.  It is a very popular interface
for networking software, and many drivers are available free
for certain Ethernet cards.

You can get these drivers from sun.soe.clarkson.edu via 
anonymous ftp.

It is possible you need the entire proprietary package from FTP Inc,
but I doubt it.  I hear that their stuff is very good.  -David-
