NTS/2 works fine with ethernet - AS LONG AS you don't want to do what the
original poster wants to.  Namely, the Virtual 802.2 emulation in the VDMs
does not support ethernet flavored packet drivers.  Packet driver <->NDIS
shims do not work either.  Only strict 802.2 applications are said to work
with 802.2 in VDMs on ethernet, and I don't have any of these to test.  ALl
I do know, is that the IBMTOKEN.COM packet driver, which is supposed to use
the 802.2 interface, does not work on an ethernet equiped machine, though it
appears to initialize properly.

More than that, I do not know...   (All of this made my day after being told
throughout development of NTS/2 that it would solve my problems with programs
that require packet driver support.  :-( )
