However, it supports the original Packet Driver spec. This has a pretty well defined interface, and all the drivers run in 16 bit real mode. There are source drivers available for almost every original card, most as antiquated as the systems ELKS is running on... : KA9Q net was the earlier package, it ran on CP/M once so may fit The KA9Q package is modular, and many items can be dropped initially, in order to make it fit. Perhaps even just IP and ICMP on top of SLIP first, and try to get ELKS to respond to a ping! ;-) Greg
