Novell wrote the 3Com stuff, don't know of any other ethernet or TR ODI
drivers.

There is a Netware Packet Driver Shell (BYU, on sun.soe.clarkson.edu). Lots'o
TCP-IPs run on Packet Drivers.

There's also three different companies that have written Netware NDIS shells
(Hughes Lan Systems, Mountain View, Calif., Spry & WRQ, both in Seattle Wa.).

Lan Man, Vines and Netware (from above) all will run in NDIS (together). DECs
released NDIS for PCSA and of course NDIS exists for (virtually) all TCP-IPs,
DEC LAT emulators etc (including Polygon).

But Novell dosn't believe in NDIS.....................
