Ken,
NDIS v2.0 specification file is available from FTP Software Inc
by anonymous ftp to vax.ftp.com. The document is from 3Com and Microsoft.
Beware that this is not a slim document, and NDIS compliant code tends
to follow suit.
There are two other packet multiplexer "standards" in use today:
Packet Drivers (Clarkson Univ, anon ftp to sun.soe.clarkson.edu, distributors)
and Open Data Link Interface, ODI, from Novell. Documentation on the latter
is available from Novell (for a fee as I understand it).
