Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a question.

Up until now, I have been under the assumption that the PCroute (or
PCbridge) software is based on the packet driver interface spec, so that
any network card with the appropriate packet drive could work under it.
Is this a false assumption?  Somebody please set me straight.

Thanks in advance,
