As a new reader of comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc, I noticed a few
buzzwords fly by that I'm unfamiliar with.  Not seeing a FAQ
topic, could someone enlighten me to the meaning/sources of the
following?
 
	packet driver
	NDIS
	BWNFS
 
Pointers to documentation would be useful (should be moderately
technical, not Business Week no-brainer stuff).  I'd prefer
stuff accessible through mail servers, as I don't have ftp
access.
 
I'm currently administering a cluster of 3 Sun 386i's serving 4
Sun PC-NFS clients, and I'd like to add some OS/2 clients using
FTP's InterDrive.
