Actually acheiving the required functionality is pretty trivial, just run the
winsock on top of a packet multiplexor on top of a packet driver instead.
Using packet mux on top of the packet driver you can get packet drivers for
DOS boxes plus a packet driver for Trumpet winsock. Pktmux can be found on
biochemistry.cwru.edu. (and quite a few other sites).
The system has to be configured at the bottom (DOS) level to use packet
drivers, but thats possible with nearly all configurations.
I'll admit that going from Winsock to packet driver is nightmarish, but
actually acheiving whats wanted , which is KA9Q in a DOS box with Winsock
running isn't. Thats basically how my system is configured now.
