-------------
We do not recommend or support trying to run two TCP/IP stacks in
parallel over the same lan adapter. Attempts to do so, with say pktmux,
are entirely up to the user.
It is easy to use Novell's 16-bit TCP/IP stack and load it upon
request. That is, have a normal Windows 3.1 directory without TCP/IP being
loaded, and have a second very small directory for the case of loading
Novell's stack. In the second dir put *.grp, *.ini, win.com, map a drive
letter to the main Windows directory and the tiny dir, load Novell's stack,
and then run WIN.COM. This works pretty well via a .bat file to make the
changes, run Win 3.1, then at the end clean up from the changes.
The end result is a user invokes one of the two renditions of
Windows material, via choice of .bat files. I do this in production mode.
Alternatively, insert two Ethernet boards in the machine, and use
two IP addresses. Such boards are dirt cheap these days. ODI supports
multiple boards, and MS-DOS Kermit is designed to work with ODI that way.
