I've been trying to get some TCP/IP support for a VaxMate and its
internal ethernet card.  I have been able to load PROTMAN.SYS,
MACDEPCA.SYS and the dis_pkt.dos drivers and bind them for a
DEPCA card in an IBM-AT, but the MACDEPCA driver doesn't seem
to recognize the ethernet card in the VaxMate.

My questions are:

  1)  Is there some set-up I am overlooking for the VaxMate to
"initialize" the ethernet card, or is it just not recognized
(I think the same DLL.EXE driver works for it and the DEPCA);

  2)  Does FTP support the internal ethernet card in VaxMates
under their TCP package (failing a PD packet approach);

  3)  Am I wasting my time with these machines (the problem is,
I have quite a few)?

Any help would be appreciated.  Please reply directly.
