1. Packet driver specification
------------------------------
PPPKT driver provides basic and extended functionality, as defined in
"PC/TCP Version 1.09 Packet Driver Specification" of FTP Software, Inc.
2. Packet driver loading and configuration
------------------------------------------
The packet driver's command line:
PPPKT [options...]
where [options] is one or more configuration options.
You can store required options in a file, called "response file".
The driver will read options from response file when the following command
is used:
PPPKT @file
A sample response file called SAMPLE.INI is provided with the packet driver.
When no options are specified, the driver uses default settings.
To customize packet driver's configuration, the following options are used:
AS802_3
If this option is specified, the driver reports it is a class 11
(IEEE 802.3) instead of 1.
PACKET_INT=hh
This option specifies the software interupt which is used to communicate
with the driver.Default is 60h.
valid numbers are 60h to 6Fh except 67h, and 77h to 7Fh.
VERBOSE=1
If this option is specified detailed diagnostic messages will be displayed
when the adapter is loaded. Use this option for troubleshooting.
UNLOAD
Use this option if you wish to unload the driver from memory.
To unload the driver use the same keywords you used to load the driver on the
command line , with the keyword unload as first parameter.
EXAMPLE: PPPKT UNLOAD PACKET_INT=62
