- According to Novell sources there is to be a post on Monday 25-JAN-93
- of a ALPHA IPX requester for Win/NT. Be advised that it only supports
- NE2000 and IBM Token Ring cards. You might ask Why, since the OS is
- providing the HARDWARE driver for the net cards. Well, Novell (games again)
- is trying to push there ODI spec, and they are pushing it to NT, instead
- of writing a protocol stack, like all the other protocols under NT.
-
- I'll post my reponse to the driver, as soon as I down-load it.. I'll
- also post a comment or two on how the driver SHOULD have been written!
-
- Those of you with the DDK read up on NDIS etc.
