                      4: The PACKET.SYS driver demonstrates the use of the upper edge NDIS 3.0
                      5: services to communicate with NDIS 3.0 MAC drivers.
                      6: 
                      7: The driver creates a device object which may be opened by Win32 apps

                      9: driver.  Receives may be pended to the driver by reading from the
                     10: driver.
                     11: 
                     12: The driver expects that it will be bound an Ethernet card as it makes

                     15: The testapp that accompanies the driver is there only to illustrate

                     20: 
                     21: In order to install the driver there is an .INI which is run using
                     22: REGINI.EXE.
                     23:

                     28: The PACKET.INI file will need to be edited for the particular netcard

                     30:
