This is the output from an Archie search. Pick an FTP server close to
you. Even though a lot of the entries here have different dates, they are
all the same size, so they're probably the same files.

DIS_PKT9.DOS is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS, just after the NDIS driver for
your ethernet card.

You need to add the following lines to your PROTOCOL.INI, so that DIS_PK9.DOS
knows what to do.

[pktdrv]
drivername = pktdrv$
bindings   = XXXX.DOS
intvec     = 0x60

The BINDINGS line should be the same as the BINDINGS line in [DATALINK]
and [IPX4MAC]. INTVEC is the packet driver interrup you want to use.

Be aware that if you use BOOTP, or any protocol that relies on your MAC
level address, that the address will now be AA 00 04 00 xx xx, ie your
DECNET station address, rather than the 'raw' ethernet address that the
card has in ROM. (That is, once pathWorks is loaded, every single packet
that goes out on the ethernet from you workstation includes that DECNET
address as it's source, not the default 'raw' address. No big deal, just
bear it in mind if stuff doesn't work as expected).
