Those docs also mention pktmux -- a packet driver substitute that
allows exactly what you're talking about -- although you don't
"recommend or support" it.
For the record, I've been using pktmux for a couple of months now,
with various programs running through winsock plus MSKermit, CUTCP
FTP, and a specialized DOS program to access an educational database
all on their own TCP stacks. I haven't had any problems attributable
to this setup yet.
I believe the secret of success with using multiple stacks over pktmux
is assigning each stack its own interrupt address, so that no program
has to search for the packet driver. Every program I've tried so far
has allowed this except for DOSLynx, which doesn't have much to
recommend it in any case. But I allow DOSLynx to have interrupt 60,
and just assign higher numbers to all the other programs, including
Trumpet Winsock.
Trumpet, by the way, will only work with pktmux version 1.2h, which
Simtel has. Some sites, including CICA, carry 1.2c, which will not
work.
In any case, this setup has allowed me to telnet with Kermit, a much
more sophisticated program than any Windows program I've found, and
still have FTP and Netscape available.
