Hi John,

glad to hear that neither you nor your 2DoList have vanished from the
web, as Glenn had feared. :-)

Regarding Arachne on ADSL, I had found no packet driver for my Gigabit
Ethernet card, so I use the DOS ODI driver together with ODIPKT.COM
which works perfectly for me.

Most networking cards still have Novell Netware support even if they do
not come with a packet driver, so in most cases it is possible to use
them with Arachne.

If you want to connect your DSL modem directly to your networking card,
you need a DOS driver like PEPA, but I would suggest you get a DSL
router that handles this for you since PEPA uses 50-60 KB of precious
conventional memory.

Regards,

Udo
