The file unzipped without problems, but I am confused by some of the
things I have to edit in RSTPKT.TXT. For example:

;************************************************************************
;       Put your Vendor ID and Device ID
;************************************************************************

7419  2 ech,10h;   Vendor ID
7416  2 39h,81h;   Device ID

From the boot hardware data, my Vendor ID = 10ECh, and my Device ID =
8139h. Now I'm guessing the part of those lines after the the "2" is
LowByte, HighByte, in which case it is correct.

;************************************************************************
;       Put your Vendor ID and Device ID of CardBus
;************************************************************************

7629  2 ech,10h;   Vendor ID
7626  2 38h,81h;   Device ID

CardBus? I have a CardBus? If so, how do I find its Vendor ID and Device
ID? I'll leave it unchanged and see what happens.

;************************************************************************
;       Put your driver name here  (no delimiter)
;************************************************************************

4c7c 8 'RTSPKT',0h;
7204 8 'RTSPKT',20h,20h;

I guess they mean the name I will choose when I execute
"rtpatch  rtspkt.com  rtspkt.txt  <put driver name here>"

But
;*         !!! NOTE: DO NOT USE THE SAME DRIVER NAME AS THE ORIGINAL
;*                   DRIVER!!!

So I had better think of another name than RTSPKT. I'll try MYRTSPKT.

Nope. That gives a "string too long on MYRTSPKT" error... funny, there
is space for 8 characters... I'll try PKTDVR....

Ah, yes, that's better. I copied the resultant file PKTDVR into the same
subdirectory as SSH2DOS. The sample command line called up by SSH2DOS /?
does not show how to tell it where the packet driver is located and what
it is called. I'll have to look further into it when I have more time.

But for now I'll look more at Personal Netware to see whether I can
follow the 12 pages of directions I found in DOSBOOK.
