	You probably don't want the IPXPKT driver.  Instead, I would
guess you want the following.
	Before starting DV, load: 1) Clarkson packet driver (you must NOT 
use 61 as the packet_int_no as the FTP kernel will want it; you should
use the -w parameter); 2) if you want to use Novell at the same time,
now load the BYU IPX and the appropriate NET shell (properly
configured)--if you don't want Novell access, skip this; 3) load the
FTP kernel (ETHDRV); 4) it is best but not necessary to now load the 
DesqView utility called DVFTP available from the Quarterdeck bulletin 
board; 5) start Desqview.
	An alternative is to use the packet driver available from
Western Digital (via their bulletin board).  This comes with
instructions.  As far as I can tell, you MUST use DVFTP if you elect
this option.  It is an interesting alternative if you use Novell
simultaneously because this packet driver loads after the Novell IPX
and NET shell (thus you do not use the BYU ipx).
