Hi Ulrich, Thanks for the nice explanation, 2nd version. I would like to make a few comments.
> 3. To activate the hardware driver and the DIS_PKT converter we need > other parts from the NDIS 2 universe: The Protocol Manager driver > (PROTMAN.DOS, PROTMAN.EXE) and the Bind utility (NETBIND.COM). This is > unfree software, the files are included in MS Client, LAN Manager and Co. Here I disagree. MS-Client is free software, even if not GPL or distributable. But it can be used along with free software: include a small batch-or-script that 1) downloads the original files with wget, 2) extract what is neeed, 3) once there, anyone can "intenaly distribute" his copies. This is legaly within the licence limits. I have already done this for Kqenu (the accelerator for Qemu) which is also non-distributable. I can send information to anyone that is interested in making a package of it. > Yes, sorry, bad idea. WatTCP and Watt-32 are free and widely used > TCP/IP stacks that work great against the packet driver interface. We (Andreas and I) have losta a lot of time with Watt-32, I recommend WatTcp which is small and fast. Unfornunatly WatTcp is 16 bits, I don't know if it is feasible to por it to WatcomC compiler.
