   sounds good, but which ofthe packet drivers out there *are* GNUcopylefted?
   I wasn'taware of any.

The packet drivers in the Clarkson collection are GNUcopylefted.  They have
an amazing amount of industry support, which belies the notion that industry
will not use unsupported software.



		The Clarkson packet driver collection

Availability

The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by
archive-server, and by modem.  They come in two flavors -- executables
only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip).  All of the
following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip.

Mail:

I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K
3.5" disk.  I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing
these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a
purchse order and I will bill you for $22.  NY residents add 7% sales
tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping.  If you send a check,
please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to
convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.
