DLL is _not_ a packet driver as per FTP's specifications, it is a proprietary
interface to their cards which does much the same thing.  It is not interface
compatible, therefore can't be used.

Last I heard, the DEPCA packet driver was on the list of things to do for the
next Clarkson packet driver release.  There was a posting in comp.dcom.lans
recently by Russ Nelson to this effect.
