About PCAUSA's NDIS PIM Driver For Windows 9X & Millennium
PCAUSA has developed NDIS "Pseudo-Intermediate" (PIM) driver technology for
Windows 9X. A PCAUSA NDIS PIM driver is logically similar to NDIS intermediate drivers.
However, PCAUSA NDIS PIM drivers operate on ALL Windows 9X platforms and work with the PPP
adapter.

"NDISPIM has been very useful and has saved me countless hours of development
time. In addition, working with it helped me get familiar with the Ndis architecture making writing the NT version of my driver much easier."
Date: Monday, December 18, 2000 4:19 AM
"I would also like to add that the NDIS PIM package was exactly what we were looking for; nicely commented and structured driver sourcecode that
we could implement our TCP packet filter on."

"Thomas,
Many thanks, I don't know if I have mentioned it before but your NDISPIM samples have taught me a great deal about NDIS and how it all fits together
<obviously I have much more to learn>, but thanks for all the help and a
great product, it has helped me finish our initial beta 3 months ahead of schedule. To Anybody lurking I highly recommend visiting PCAUSA."

"Thanks for the 9x NDIS shim dev. kit. Looks great."
Date: Tuesday, September 14, 1999 3:17 AM
"I really thank you to you. Yesterday, I completely solved my problem using your product "PIM driver". Finally I can send my own
Ethernet packets via PPP devices. Wow! I can't believe it.
Thank you."

"Heard back from my customer. They have been testing transferring whole directory trees with my driver based on your framework (W9X). No problems."
Date: Thursday, June 24, 1999 6:35 PM
"You filter driver sample was very clear. It appears to be exactly what we
need.
I will let you know if we run into any difficulties."

"I've been adapting the IPBlock filter for my own needs in assigning TOS settings into the IP header. To date, I can
pass test traffic through the filter without a problem, with a modified header. I'd like to thank you for developing something that
really works and serves as a good development base!."

"I could not have said it better myself. Well worth the money."
(Referencing the message of February 8, 2000...)

"I have been using the PCAUSA sample code for a few months now and have
found it both extremely reliable and extremely helpful. It comes with some
useful documentation as well as having well commented code. Personally I would
say that it is worth spending the money to save you the time and effort trying
to get the ImSamp code up to scratch."

"Thanks for your great PCASIM sample!"
About PCAUSA's WinDis 32 Framework
Date: Tuesday, November 21, 2000
The Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI) Carnivore
review includes these comments concerning the Carnivore TapNDIS driver (a small
part of the total package):
"The license for WinDis 32 (now "Rawether") prevents the FBI
from releasing source code for this (TapNDIS) driver, and possibly TapAPI.dll,
to the public."
"Nine of the source files, or approximately 40 percent of the (TapNDIS)
code, were apparently borrowed intact, or with only minor changes, from WinDis
32 (now "Rawether") sample code..."
No, PCAUSA did NOT write Carnivore. But one of our customers did...
Date: Saturday, October 16, 1999 7:52 AM
"I've been doing some work with your code. I like the way you've got it
setup--the samples show a lot of stuff and the comments in the code are good."
Date: Thursday, October 07, 1999 4:31 PM
"I am using your PCADev toolkit. You really did a nice job with it. Very impressive."
Date: Sunday, October 03, 1999 9:03 PM
"I purchased WinDIS32 a while back for a small project and it worked great.
It worked so well in fact that I would like to expand what my app will do."
Date: Tuesday, March 30, 1999 6:40 PM
"I've corresponded with you recently regarding WinDis32 which we purchased from
you. It was so easy to use I can't believe how much time I saved..."
Date: Thursday, March 11, 1999 3:04 PM
"We are windis32 customers (an old release though), and successfully/easily
integrated it in a system used for internal purposes."
Date: Monday, March 08, 1999 7:29 PM
"Thanks for a great product."
Date: Thursday, March 04, 1999 7:55 PM
"I am very impressed with the WINDIS package so far. I was able to integrate into
my project in an incredibly short time. I had never
done NDIS work before and have been able to implement our embedded TCP/IP stack quite
easily."
Date: Tuesday, March 02, 1999 9:12 PM
"I thought I'd drop in to let you know that the WINDIS stuff is working well, and
we're just a few weeks away from going into production."
Date: Monday, February 15, 1999 9:08 AM
"We have been using the Win32 NDIS version 4.x framework for about a year now to
provide us with the underpinnings for a router for WinNT/95/98 (and Win2000) and are
highly delighted with the product."

I'd like to contribute the following paragraph to your 'Customer Comments' section:
"To us, the level of support we demand from PCA is even more crucial than the superb
product they have to offer. Each time we have questions, we can always get advice from a
knowledgeable human being, and each Email gets responded promptly. This is definitely a
five-star service. The result is that the project is finished in time and we retain
another happy customer!"

"That BPF handler is cool. Very nice."
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 21:00:21 GMT
"Your product was a godsend when I was up against an extremely tight deadline. I
was able to throw away all my nasty Microsoft/IBM DLC code and replace it with a few pages
of well documented code cut right from your examples. My custom protocol analyzer was
converted to your product and up and working in less than half a day! More importantly, I
made my deadline! And with the dynamic loading, we had a *much* better product than we
would have had with any other solution that we looked at. It allows us to make a product
that can be run directly from a floppy with no installation needed. Outstanding!"
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 10:41:47 -0600
"Nice to talk to you on the phone. I think WinDis 32 is a 'lifesaver' package for
any software project which demands protocol driver support. The programming time it saved
is much more than the list price you charged."
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 1998 21:21:06 -0500
"Hi, I have purchased a copy of WinDis32 and have been using it for a while to
monitor traffic on my network...Pretty cool product really..."
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 16:36:28 -0600
"Thank you very much. The code snippet you sent worked just fine... That's all for
now. I'm a happy customer. (c:"
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 1997 14:22:10 -0700
"I consider the installation without the complex Windows Network Setup a HUGE
advantage in your product. The term 'dynamically loadable' does not do justice in
describing this important feature."
Date: Fri, 04 Jul 1997 16:58:51 -0400
"Thanks for the new NDIS driver source. Everything seems to work fine for the
Windows-based code that we're integrating it with (love the new look NDIScope, by the
way...)."
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 08:20:56 -0500
"I got my little Ethernet communication executable running, and it's working great
so far. I've managed to get packets with no loss by using the algorithm that you're using
in the HookPeek example."
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 1997 17:26:12 -0500
"...it's great stuff."
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 07:40:28 -0700
"Your product is providing exactly what I was hoping it would."
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 13:09:51 +0000
"...your NDIS code has been quite useful to me."
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 14:55:38 +0000
"Well, it took we a while, but I am finally getting around to sending you a free
copy of our XYZ product, which used your RAWETHER product as the starting point for its
NDIS driver "
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 1997 17:29:08 -0400
"A few months ago I purchased the rawether/rawpeek source code from you, and have
been using it to communicate with my Ndis intermediate driver. My development has been
going very well on my desktop using a 3COM 10/100 NIC."
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 09:20:27 -0400
"This driver has already proven itself on 10mbs Ethernet by passing several tests
that the other driver failed."
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 10:27:11 -0400
"Just in case you missed the last message (our T1 went down recently), I have
already modified our product to use your packet driver (as is). It seems to be working
great."
About PCAUSA's Advanced TDI Samples For Windows NT
Date: Saturday, April 28, 2001 3:44 PM
"I have been using the NT TDI Samples (PTPLUS, et al) for about the last
year with great success."
Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 6:35 AM
"It is actually a very good product helping developers and making them going faster."
Date: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 6:08 PM
"...BTW your code has been a huge help."
Date: Monday, November 06, 2000 11:41 AM
"...if you really, really, want to go through with this exercise, look up the
TDI documentation in the DDK. You can save some hair by buying Thomas F. Divine's excellent TDI Samples kit (Thomas' web site is at
<http://www.pcausa.com/>, and I am just a happy customer)."
Date: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 9:57 AM
"...let me tell you that we're happy with the TDI Samples package 'cause it's saving us a lot of effort to learn how to fill out those tricky
TDI structured buffers."
Date: Saturday, April 08, 2000 12:39 AM
"I purchased the TDI sample code, and it is wonderful."
About PCAUSA's TDI Client Sample For Windows 95 And Windows NT
Fri, 22 Aug 1997 14:28:12 -0400 (Before Receiving Product???)
"I am interested in getting your TDI client source code. However our luck at
purchasing quality software thru the internet has been rather poor. I am rather familiar
with TDI and NDIS, so the evaluation of your software can be rather quick."
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 17:53:31 -0400 (After Receiving
Product!!!)
"I have looked at your code and it seems just what I need. ... You have very good
code style and practices."

Date: Thursday, October 19, 2000 12:51 PM
"Dear Thomas,
your brilliant SDK and sample for network provider for windows 9x was an super help for us to understand design princip of network provider.
Do you have similar package for windows NT ? Maybe Windows 2K ?"
Sorry, we don't have such a product. Windows NT and Windows 2000 FSD
development is out of our league...

"...Also, have you ever thought about writing a book based on the Sample
Network?"
