  Actually, the packet driver included with the Cabletron card should
  be used with the IPX.COM generated from the NSHPD.OBJ (version 1.05EC)
  found in the distribution.  Since that IPX.COM is Econfigurable, it 
  supports the 802.3 packets by default, and must be Econfiged to support
  Ethernet_II. We've got several of these cards in use on campus that are
  supporting 802.3 Netware IPX packets and TCP/IP as well.
