I actually found another solutions by accident. If you run Virtual

This is due to the way VRPC's networking works - it doesn't use the RISC
OS stack or network devices. It has replacement Internet and Resolver
modules that just proxy through to Windows's IP stack. Apparently,
sometimes this even works! :)

I have some source to a DCI4 .1q vlan encapsulation layer some where,
this is not quite the same thing, though some bit may be
canibalisable.

I've been cribbing from the one or two open source network drivers out
there. I'm surprised there would be much point in a RISC OS box doing
VLANs - I normally leave that up to the switches.
