There is a beta of such a thing. I haven't tested it until now.
I'm somewhat critical regarding the licensing stuff - especially since the
author seems to have used a lot of the ODIPKT code...

I append parts of the README:

-------------------------- oditrpkt.com ----------------------------
ODITRPKT.COM 1.0 BETA

Oditrpkt open BETA test.  

_________________________________________________________________________
Terms and Conditions  ( Delete this software now if you feel unable
			to abide by these conditions )
_________________________________________________________________________

You may use this BETA version of oditrpkt for a month free of charge 
after that time I should have worked out how I will distribute it and 
also all of the copyright information.  This executable should not be 
placed in any other locations unless it will give access to persons 
which would not be able to get it otherwise.  This will give me freedom 
to change and update as needed without haveing many copies floating around. 

I do not know if I will distribute it as freeware or shareware or even
at all.  The source will not be available for some time except to persons
with a valid reason for haveing it.  I will consider it an illegal if
you reverse engineer the executable to get the source and will take 
whatever legal actions I can against you.  I reserve all rights of ownership
of this software and although It may be on your machine it is mine and
as such if I tell you to destroy all copies you may have in your possession 
you must do so!  If you do download this you should send me an email message 
so that I can inform you when I have modified it so that you can get the 
newer versions.  
_________________________________________________________________________


At present everything looks good and is working as it should.I haven't 
gotten the copyright stuff all finished yet.  Please tell me If you see 
anything that you think may be illegal about the way I have written it up.

I have not made many changes between the way you load up oditrpkt.com
from odipkt.com.  The board you type on the command line is still the
logical board number minus one, where the logical board number is the
number you get when the MLID's are loading up.

[...]

Both lansup.com and token.com have been tested and have worked for 
an IBM card.  It seems reasonable to expect any card which supports ODI
and has a MLID for it will work with this driver.  Please give me
reports if they don't and I'll see what I can do.

At present I have ARP, RARP, and TCP/IP all working.

[...]

Send bug reports to 
ben@datacomm.ucc.okstate.edu
