i did that work, but this driver has problems with certain kinds of loads
that someone on the net found for me. needless to say, the new version is
undergoing much more testing before i stick it on the net. until I release
it, I suggest that you get Dave River's driver; it seems very stable and
doesn't drop back to back udp packets.

p.s. the new driver will be released when I get time off this damn contract.
