Hi Frank, All,

What's missing is the layer that translates FB API calls
of some sort into wire protocol and forward this to
the Packet or NDIS driver of the Ethernat card.
And as there are no Dlls, this must be compiled in.
I assume, theoretically, I would have only to grab the
FB source tree for the client Dlls and make 'some minor
porting' changes. Hmmmm.
