I'm still busy to get WfWG's networking in sync with my requirements. 
The following pictures represent my understanding of driver interactions
(I put this here into that note, that you could please correct me, if I have
missconceptions about what's going on).
                                                                              
This is WfWG's regular setup using NetBeui:                                                                             
NDIS-driver --- MS_Netbeui ------ MS_WfWG                          

(BTW: Is this Netbeui layer contained in protman.dos or in workgroup.sys ?)

Although I've never been in touch with a Novell Network so far, configuring
Novell support in addition I get a picture like this:
                                                                              
              - Novell_to_NDIS -- Novell_App
             /    (MSIPX)                        
NDIS-driver /                             
            \                            
             \                                                        
              - MS_Netbeui ------ MS_WfWG                          

Again all stacks sit on top of the NDIS_driver. With some effort (didn't try
it so far) I might even get several packet aware applications working over
NDIS (using pkt_dis9.dos, pktmux.exe and pktdrv.exe):
                                                                              
                                                - Packet_Drv_1 -- Packet_App_1
                                               /                      
                                              /                       
              - Packet_to_NDIS -- Packet_Mux ----   ....       
             /                                \                      
NDIS-driver /                                  \                     
            \                                   - Packet_Drv_N -- Packet_App_2
             \                                                        
              - MS_Netbeui ------ MS_WfWG                          

But now what I'd like to have is NDIS through packet:

                            - Packet_Drv_1 ---- Packet_App_1
                           /    ...               
                          /                       
Packet_Drv -- Packet_Mux ---- Packet_Drv_N ---- Packet_App_2
                          \   
			   \
                            - NDIS_to_Packet -- MS_Netbeui -- MS_WfWG                          
This for instance would allow me to configure my PC at home to use a SLIP/PPP
packet driver (e.g. slip8250.com) to access my office. Therefor I search for a
NDIS_to_Packet driver.

Of cause hints/help to either

1.) configure WfWG to use packet drivers or
2.) get a SLIP/PPPdriver with NDIS interface

would be appreciated as well.
                                                                              
Thank you!
