I am looking for a public domain TCP/IP package that supports the 
DEC DEPCA ethernet board (revision E) I have tried the Clarkson 
Universtiy packet driver but it doesn't work. Does anybody have some
references

Unless I am mistaken the Clarkson driver for the DEPCA works ok.  It does
generate an error code on startup but, as you can see, NCSA telnet works
just fine.  Make sure you specify your configuration on the driver command
line since the autoconfigure option does not work.

Alas, a DEPCA is not a DEPCA is not a DEPCA.  They changed the board
incompatibly between revision D and E, so that revision E does not
work with the existing packet driver.  Also, the Turbo DEPCA gets the
Ethernet address wrong, although it works otherwise.
