That was probably PKTDRV. I remember when FTP released that crazy, then
Novell came out with ODIPKT and life was better but you could still run
PKTDRV apps with an appropriate shim program
Best replacement cards would be a 3c503, 3c509, and not the 3c501. I
think there were pktdrv drivers for the NE200 and the Intel EtherExpress
and EtherExpress/16. And you could run an NE200 in an 8 bit slot.

machine passes data to this machine to drive the machine.
Attached are some screenshots. Original card was a pci etherexpress 100.
The packet driver used is in the screenshots attached.
I no longer have a intel card, is there a way to just drop in any old
pci
card and make it work with the tcp ip software?
I am trying to better understand, as i have not done much work with
packet
drivers. I will post back with some more info. Any help much
appriciated.
You'll need a packet driver for the new card.
Then "just" replace the drivers. And probably adapt some config files.
I have used "ftp software" IP implementation for DOS before. Long ago.
Maybe I can dig out some documentation for it.
