	Sure.  Just the packet driver and netdev.sys.  Only
	thing in netdev.sys that needs to be set is your ip address.
	Make sure you use 0x7e as the packet software interrupt.
	BTW, this is one of the most usefull freely available programs
	I have ever seen.  I was maxed out with 2 controllers and
	4 150 meg esdi drives running ISC unix on my home
	system.  I have 300 megs on a spare pc, and with the soss
	running on it, I can now supply up to 600 megs of
	simtel-20 downloaded ibm pc binaries and x-rated gifs to
	my users quite easily.  I can now even back up the pc
	using the UNIX tape drive.  All and all, a very usefull
	program.  Now, all I need is a freely available NFS
	client.
