I am wondering if there is a way to get SOSS (the newest version)
running without anything to do with MIT/Harvard PC/IP?

I mean can I use it with and only with packet driver?  I don't need
Novell facilities.

I am asking because I don't quite understand how to get the
netdev.sys talking to a packet driver.  I suppose SOSS needs
netdev.sys for it's ip, netmask, gateway and related info?

I found such a modified version (for an older version of soss) on
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu but without much doc's and I could not get it
going either.

How about NFS via the slip8250 packet driver?  for a cheap man like
me :-)  Can it be done?

Also, ignore my ignorance but will there be a packet driver for
PPP?  or do they have nothing to do with each other?

Thanks for any info....
