The DLL driver gives you the same functionality as an extended, high
performance Packet Driver. However, it has a different calling convention.
To overcome this problem, I wrote a DLL to Packet Driver converter,
which allows you to use programs that call the Packet Driver over DLL,
the driver of DEC's PCSA.
 
The converter was written as part of a practical training job here at EUT
and is currently under beta test. It will probably be released into the
public domain by the end of this month, along with DLL support for KA9Q.
