We have a recently-released PPP server called GatorAccess which does what I
think you're referring to, which is to say selection of IPCP or IPXCP for
remote connections, both in remote routing configurations (i.e., support
for individual configuration of IPX and IP over any routing serial port),
or for dialup client connections (i.e., the bundled client package has
a IPXCP and IPCP ODI driver, and a dialing app that allows IPX or IP in
the dialup to the configured server).  I'm not sure when you say "depending
on the application" if you were implying the exposure of control protocol
parameters to an outside application for call establishment, which would
indeed be an "application" whose support I don't believe exists anywhere
(unless the boffo 4.0 Chameleon PPP client supports this).

Standard disclosures, not looking to shamelessly promote Cayman's own
products, just looking to answer the posted question.  Which *isn't* to
say that if anybody replies requesting more product info, I won't
respond :-).

I'm still having lots of problems getting Netware, WFW311, and the
beta TCP/IP to work together. Maybe you can help.

It seems to be the same problem I was
having getting Chameleon and SuperTCP to work with Netware and WFW311
when I first reviewed the product. I'm not sure what I could be doing
wrong. I installed WFW311 on a clean system with ODI drivers (ne2000)
already installed for Netware. After install, I'm able to work with
Netware and WFW/NT without any problems. I then installed the TCP/IP
beta, which installs without complaint. However, when I boot again,
the TCP/IP doesn't work (ping always reports "Host unreachable", for
example). When I install WFW311 on a system not connected to NetWare,
and then install TCP/IP, everything works great.

Can you or anyone else see what I'm missing?

Yes, unless you have a buggy Winsock (Distinct's winsock springs to mind).

Correct. If you call send (or sendto), and it fails with WSAEWOULDBLOCK,
then FD_WRITE messages are re-enabled.

I solved this problem by copying "winsock.dll" from the netmanag

Actually it's goupware for various platforms
(X11, Windows...) located in a local network. It's _not_ perfect
but interesting :-)

     To all who interested at Xwin for MS-Windows, here's some info from
Starnet.  I tried the working demo, it runs smoothly on my GateWay 486sx-25,
with 4meg RAM.

     The info will follow my next posting...
