- We currently use Hummingbird's Exceed Xwindows product with FTP's TCP/IP
- ethdrv kernal running on top of the wd8003e packet drivers. Works great.
- Except, that I don't seem to be able to run ipx/netx while FTP's ethdrv
- kernel is loaded. I have been asked if it is possible to do this - and
- seem to recall being told by FTP tech support that it can't be done. But
- I thought one of the motivations for the packetdrivers was to allow several
- protocoll stacks to use the same ethernet card (Western Digital) -
- simultaneously, if need be. Is there something we could do to make this work?
- Is theresomething that would replace the packetdriver that would support
- a connection to both a unix host and a novell server at the same time.
- Is anybody doing this?
