I'd like to say "there's only one" but that would not be entirely
fair. While at DOS level outside of Windows (not the DOS box) load Novell's
TELAPI after starting their TCP/IP stack. MS-DOS Kermit can use that while
in Windows, via SET PORT BIOSn, or SET PORT 3COM(BAPI), or SET PORT
NOVELL(NASI), or with a simple assistance of macro "telapi" such as
def telapi run tsu -o \%1 -p \%2 k1,run tsu -a k1 1,set port nov
(run as Kermit command telapi host.domain).
I think I need to remind readers that many "winsock" interfaces
are but a thin layer which reaches down to a TCP/IP stack loaded as a DOS
TSR. Not all, but many. So the attraction is more glitter (memory hogging,
more software to pass through for every byte) than one might suspect.
