- Help:
-
- I am going to be rewriting LAN software for my company and we need to
- use TCP/IP and some sort of socket API.
-
- We're not happy using FTP software's PC/TCP for DOS because the
- programmers development kit forces you to replace the Microsoft system
- include files with their own butchered version.
-
- We cannot use Beame & Whitesides TCP/IP and socket library either. We
- must operate in a nonblocking mode and their socket library blocks
- on a soclose() call if there is a physical break in communications.
-
- I am currently looking into both Network Researches "Fusion for DOS"
- and Novell's LAN WorkPlace Toolkit (for LAN WorkPlace for DOS) as
- a replacement solution.
-
-
- Has anyone out there reading this had experience with either of the
- two mention packadges? Can anyone reccommend any others? I need
- help as I've already bought two packadges only to find out their
- limitations and am hesitant to buy any more until I know for sure that
- they are any good.
-
- _ANY_ advice on this would be _GREATLY_ appreciated!!! Thanks!
