Yes, if I want to use the WATT32 packet capture features I need these files.
Since I am not using WATT32 but the FPC ipstack by Diego De Marco this
probably won't apply to my problem.

I have searched the net for SWSVPKT and TCP.
I think there isn't a much more general search text that I can seach for.
Hm, I haven't tried SWSVPKT only... :P

It took me 3 months to find and settle on one of the plenty TCP/IP stacks
available. Also, don't forget that Wsockxs is Windows only, but my goal
is a DOS TCP/IP stack, working (at least for a start) with the Packet Driver API. I'd love to be able to develop this in Windows since it's much more
comfortable to develop on.

Thanks for the link anyway, it may prove helpful someday...
