    Is it possible to get FTP's dis_pkt (NDIS<-->packet driver converter)
    to work with 3Com's 3+Share?

As far as I knew, 3+/Share didn't used to be available in a version that
used NDIS (even 3+/Open didn't really work with NDIS in the first betas).
I don't know off-hand what the "failed to bind" message is, I've never seen
it before.

First, I'd make sure that 3+/Share is supposed to use NDIS in the first
place.  Second, you can't use the Clarkson 3C523 driver at the same time
as you use the 3Com NDIS driver for the same card.  If the DIS_PKT file
is in the system, it provides the Packet Driver functionality and you
don't need the Clarkson driver.  Third, "netbind" has to run before
you run our kernel.  I don't know whether it needs to be done before
you run the 3+/Share redirector.
