- I asked for permission and subsequently placed the required drivers
- on 129.97.50.50 in pub/wattcp/gateway. These drivers appear to work
- with Clarkson TCP, WATTCP, and most others which do standard TCP
- applications.
-
- But they do not handle promiscuous mode, so they fail miserably on the
- Beholder, Gobbler and other software from those cool dudes at Delft U.
