I've installed last friday night the WinQVT/Net package in a PS/2 model 70
with a WD8003E card. Its works if I install only the packet driver.

Problem 1. The packets which are send to the other host are always a max.
566 bytes (which should be 1514). I've changed the fields in the 
.rc file, but this doesn't helps. May I should read the doc first, but as 
it is shareware I want to have it working completely before I pay for it.
(That's the key element of shareware IMHO (except for crippleware, which
is crippled until you pay for it.)

Problem 2. We've installed here the LanManager 2 which runs on the NDIS
stack. I've downloaded the NDIS_PKT (ndis to packet driver) interface, 
which should make it possible to run software which uses the packet 
driver spec. I installed it in config.sys and updated protocol.ini.
Assume that this is done correctly. But when I start WinQVT it reports
'packet driver error: 10 (AccessType)'. Error code 10 means 'TYPE_INUSE'
ie. the type requested is allready in use.
The PKT test functions like PKTSTAT.COM all return the message
'bad packet type specified'. The code tries to install a accesstype with
filter length of 8 bytes which isn't supported by NDIS_PKT.
The standard allows this, but the programs don't?

Hope somebody can help, Alfred


P.S. As soon as WinQVT is working correctly I will register. (pay for it).
