- Man, have you ever bitten off a chunk here!! If you find a way to get this
- working, I would sure like to know what it is, but I fear that you will not.
- I only know of one way to use packet-driver-expecting software even under
- DOS, and that is to use IBMTOKEN, which I loathe!!!! Since IBMTOKEN won't
- work under OS/2, I really think we are both out of luck.
-
- I have been looking at other solutions, but haven't found one yet. I can't
- get IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 and the NetWare Requester to work together, and
- Novell's LAN Workplace For OS/2 is still a ways off. For the time being, I
- dual-boot back to DOS once a day for TCP/IP access. Ugh!
