   Hi,   
      
   I helping a blind friend continue to use his dos text-based internet   
   tools (e.g., ssh2d386.exe) with windows and DSL. The swiss packet driver,   
   swsvpkt works well to convince dos programs it is a packet driver, while   
   it shuttles packets to the windows xp ethernet adapter.   
      
   It requires 2 things, however: turn off the windows tcp/ip protocol so it   
   can use its own, and do something about windows firewalls.   
      
   I've find that the xp firewall does not not object to swsvpkt, but my   
   software firewall (I still use kerio 2.15) somehow blocks internet dsl   
   traffic coming throught swsvpkt. I've told the firewall to accept cmd.exe   
   command.com, the virtual layer ntdvm.exe, the dos applications -- all to   
   no avail. I do not even get warning messages from kerio.   
      
   Any ideas how I get a decent software windows firewall to allow tcp/ip   
   traffic from a dos box, using swsvpkt?
