PC-NFS and the NCSA TN3270 both want to use Ethernet packet types 0x800 (IP)
and 0x806 (ARP).  The Packet Driver can't deliver packets to both, and you'd
get arguments between the two ARP implementations if it did.  To do this,
you need either a TN3270 modified to use Sun's socket library and TCP
transport, or PC/TCP's Interdrive and TN3270, which already share a common
transport kernel.
