I just recently got Clarkson's packet drivers and CUTCP running perfectly over
a SLIP line to the local netwrok here.

I'd like to try and get CMU's PCIP package running.  I found a package on
sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/ka9q/pcippkt.arc, which, I guessed from the name, was
PCIP for use with the packet drivers.  Now when I go in and customize
NETDEV.SYS, I find no information about setting up the packaet-driver inter-
face (ie. what interrupt number, etc.).  So I loaded NETDEV.SYS, loaded my
packet driver, SLIP8250.COM, and tried ping.  All I got back was an error
message entitled, "Packet driver not loaded".  Can someone tell me what I'm
doing wrong?

I also found on sun.soe.clarkson.edu, the file sos_pkt.exe, which claims to
be an NFS server for DOS that uses packet drivers.  There is no documentation
that came with it, and the documentation that came with pcip_sos.arc contain-
ed info on how to compile the package, but nothing else.  Can someone help
me here?

Thanks.
