Hello!
We are a small research group in a University in India interested 
in the ethenet adapters and TCP-IP, in the domain of PCs. Recently
we have developed a dumb ethernet adapter card and tested the MIT
PC/IP package for telnet and other utilities. They work fine.
Now we wd like to make this card useable in different network
s/w environments like Novell Netware, MSNet, etc.
WE heard that there exists some place on the net who can develop
standard packet drivers making the card versatile.
I would like to hear the following:

1. Where can one get the NDIS packet driver specifications? What are
   real benefits of being compatible with this?
2. Contact of these people who can develop the packet drivers for
   our card; what exactly their business? In what form we should send
   our card in order to get the  driver developed for us?

Thanks in advance,

---Murthy.
