.... Is there something like that packet driver for a Token Ring card?
Yes, several. IBM sells the "LAN Support Program", which provides the same
sort of packet demultiplexing and interface sharing (via a spec called "ASI")
that the Packet Driver does, and most other 802.5 board vendors sell modules
which adapt it to their own hardware. FTP Software, IBM, Wollongong and now
Sun (shipped but not yet announced) offer commercially supported TCP/IP
packages which can talk to ASI drivers, and the UMD DOS-IP academic-only
freeware also speaks ASI. Novell's TCP/IP can use ASI also, but through
some sort of ASI-to-ODI adapter. A second approach is the Clarkson IBMTOKEN
packet driver, which lets Ethernet TCP/IP stacks run on 802.5 by translating
the packet formats on the fly. Either requires that you have something
acting as an IP router between your 802.5 and Ethernet nets.
