	Now that there is more discussion of NDIS and the packet driver to
	NDIS converter, I'd like to discuss some problems that have occurred
	with this software. We run a 3+Open network and have been using the
	DIS_PKT.dos program with no problems with CUTCP(after an initial
	fix). But this is the only PD package that works. The POPMAIL pgms
	from Minnesota and NASA-AMES don't work, and nither does the NETMON
	pgm(a very nice package). All 3 pgms work fine in a straight packet
	driver environment, but fail with NDIS and DIS_PKT.DOS. They also
	work with the Novell BYU package and the packet drivers. So far the
	response I get is "3+Open? Too bad, but we don't use it here". But
	if the NDIS drivers are going to appear in common use, maybe others
	have seen these problems in non-3+Open environments, and maybe
	someone could address these probelms. I will try it with the
	NASA-AMES POPMAIL because source is available. Everywhere else I'm
	stuck.
