- I have using QVT/Net 3.03 with the ETHERSLIP packet driver with no problem.
- It also works fine with the SLIP8250.COM packet driver. So I guess that it
- can detect class 0 and 6 from the packet driver. With the ETHERSLI.COM
- packet driver, I have to remove the line device=*vcd from my SYSTEM.INI in
- order to run any TCP/IP applications from under Windows.
