First, hats off to everyone involved in the development of packet drivers.
What a nice thing.  I currently have PC running Novell Netware and NCSA Telnet
concurrently (no small feat).  

Has anyone gotten packet drivers to work on a Dell System 220 with VGA and 
a Western Digital WD8003E ethernet card.  I have the exact same configuration
running on Zeniths, IBM AT's, and Everex 286/20's without a hitch.  
The packet driver code was picked up from Clarkson University.

The problem I am having is when I try to load the packet driver program
it tells me that the suggested shared memory range is already in use.
I am suggesting it use 0xD000.  Thinking that the VGA hardware might
be using that memory range I called Dell and they claim there shouldn't 
be any conflict.  All the other parameters (IRQ-5, IO port address 0x300)
are not conflicting with anything.  The strange thing is that Netware
worked on this machine in this configuration before.  

Any help/advise would eagerly accepted!
