DEC has a DLL to NDIS driver (part of DEC Works, or whatever they are call-
ing PCSA these days). This driver along with FTP Inc's DISPKT would give
interfaces to both - NDIS/DLL for DEC and DISPKT for packet driver soft-
ware - all on top of an NDIS driver.

One bit of caution - the NDIS MAC driver *must* support the NDIS
SetStationAddress funtion - DEC's DLL driver changes the vendor address bits
to DEC's.
