What packet driver are you using? Under Win95, I use NDIS3PKT, which works 
great. It sits on top of the Win95 drivers for your network card, and the 
only snag is you can't use the same IP address for Win95's TCP/IP stack and 
for the DOS applications - the Win95 stack eats all the packets before the 
DOS programs get them. If you're not running Win95 TCP/IP applications, 
though, then you probably won't be bothered!

Yep, I am very familiar with it. You can FREQ NDIS3PKT.ARJ from me, or 
download it over the Internet:
ftp://ftp.ninja.ml.org/pub/BBS_Filebase/NETWORK/NDIS3PKT.ARJ (that path is 
off the top of my head, it might not be accurate!) It's only about 30K 
(again, from memory!)
Hope that helps.

BTW - I hope you don't mind me asking, but what software is it? I'm looking 
for something similar for my BBS, but the only one I've found so far (NXBBS) 
is $199 to register - a bit steep IMHO especially when there are a few bugs 
in it, leaving users in endless loops that they can't quit, etc. I'd just be 
interested to hear what other people are using.
