Oracle's SQL-Net/TCP for a PC-based SQL client supports FTP's PC-TCP
kernel and allows the clients to communicate across the Ethernet
using Packet Drivers.

Who knows of any Public Domain PC-TCP kernel?

It is not going to be viable to buy n copies of PC-TCP as all the
features such as Telnet and ftp are unnecessary, only the ability to
speak to Packet Drivers will be needed.

Alternately, anyone know how to get SQL-Net/TCP talking _directly_
to a packet driver (ie without the PC-TCP kernel)?

Any help with this would be appreciated, but please mail me as well
as posting to the group(s) as I do not subscribe to all groups and
expiry often trashes stuff before I can read it if I go away.

Many thanks

Kuyper
