- DLLPKT is not a TSR packet driver, but instead it spawns a program needing a
- packet driver after installing a basic packet driver simulation at INT 61.
- After termination of the subprogram, all portals left open by the program
- are closed and all other resources used by DLLPKT are returned to the OS.
-
- If, for example, you want to use SOSS to make some disk or file services
- available via NFS, you simply start it with `DLLPKT SOSS /r'.
-
- The program is released under the GNU public license version 1, of course
- without any warranty. It works most of the time, but on some systems it
- occasionally stops transmitting packets every now and then. I was unable
- to fix this bug. (That's why it took me so long to release it...)
-
- The distribution comes in two flavours:
- DLLPKT.ZIP: Contains the executables, sources and user manual. This is all
- you need if you simply want to use it.
- DLLPKSRC.ZIP: Idem, but also contains REPORT.PS, an excerpt of the report
- on my practical training period at the Measurement and Control section of
- the department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University, of which
- DLLPKT was one of the results.
-
- For now, the files are available by anonymous ftp from:
- gem.stack.urc.tue.nl (131.155.2.59):
- /pub/dllpkt.zip
- /pub/dllpksrc.zip
-
- If the maintainers of some of the more well-known ftp sites would like to
- give these files a more permanent place, please contact me.
-
- If you intend to free the package from its bugs and limitations, please
- share the results with the supervisor of this project:
- Wim Beckers ermimwei@er.ele.tue.nl
-
- The current version of DLLPKT does not work in conjunction with Desqview or
- Windows. A Desqview aware version is available on request. A Windows version
- does not exist at this moment, but integrating it with VPKT would be a
- solution.
-
- For those of you who are still a happy owner of a VaxMate, suggestions for
- adapting DLLPKT to the Vaxmate are also available on request. Since I don't
- have access to any VaxMate machine, the suggested adaptation was never tested.
-
- Just hoping to be of some use to someone out there,
