Well, I don't know what exactly constitues a "Clarkson
driver", but the driver shipped with my WD card works 
fine. I don't see how you could use a driver for an 
ethernet or token ring card (which is what the Clarkson 
drivers are) with  a serial line (which is what SLIP
is). Is there a serial device driver included with the 
Clarkson drivers?
