   I am trying to learn how to program using a packet driver, and am
   having a very difficult time trying to set up a handler using the
   "access_type" call to packet driver.  I have some code below,
   which has been reworked numerous times,   always with the same
   results.  I get a valid handler back with no errors, but when I
   ping my pc from a unix box, the far assembly procedure MyRoutine
   does not get called.  (I am using Turbo Pascal 6.0, BTW.  I know C
   would be better, but I do not have a decent C compiler at home
   [yet]).

Well, first of all, do you have your packet driver installed
correctly?  If not, you'll never get anything.  Try running pktall
and see if it prints anything.

   A few notes:
           I have tried TypeLen (CX) set to 0, which, according the packet driver
           specs, should call MyRoutine _every_ time a packet is received. 

Yup.

                   push    DS              {I have a hunch that this is needed}

Yup.

                   mov     BX,14           {ifType-WD8003}

Use -1 here.  That way your program will work on any packet driver,
not just wd8003e's.
