It doesn't have to be in assembly. The Clarkson packet driver collection
contains the source to a C module by Phil Karn which serves as a C to
packet driver interface. It is written for Turbo C.

I am currently working on a Microsoft C 6.0 port of Phil's code, also
adding calls that were left out and bringing it up to the PC/TCP Packet
Driver Specification version 1.09. I compile and link it with the large
memory model, and won't get around to testing it any other way.

Since I'm not in the software distribution business, I'm contributing the
Microsoft C 6.0 port back to Russ Nelson's Clarkson Packet Driver
Collection within a week or two. Look for it there soon.
