this is my diploma and i don't know if is allowed to modify the dlls.
And i don't know if it is so good, because of versions or something
else. i consent your opinion about the work for the virtual miniport.
but is this not the best solution for a longer time?

this tool has a COM-Interface. i don't know more about the COM-Interface
currently.
