Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Generic MAC Wrapper (Genmac) 2.20

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Mark Dodel <feedbackDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org>

The Generic MAC Wrapper Driver (GenMac) of Willibald Meyer is now available 
in Version 2.20. Due to the support of many more network interface cards, 
the new version has grown too big to remain packed into one archive file. 
Instead it has been split into a package for the main GenMac driver, and 
additional, vendor specific driver packages.

See the online help in the main package for the revision history and more 
information about which network interface cards are support, and detailed 
information on how to submit bug reports including debug data.

Thanks a lot to Willibald Meyer for all his work!

There is a list of changes in this new version included in the help file. 
You need to download the base package genmac220.wpi as well as at least one
