- I guess it doesn't really seem like Novell's place to go off and fix this
- sort of problem, but rumor has it that we did. ODINSUP v1.21 is now
- available on ftp.novell.com in ~/novlib/novfiles/dosup6.zip. This is the
- latest version of this NDIS driver for ODI that supports Windows for
- Workgroups' rather picky NDIS requirements.
-
- So, Novell's LAN WorkPlace for DOS (mostly a Windows product these
- days...) and various other ODI-based TCP/IP packages can now cheerfully
- (or at least peacefully) coexist with Windows for Workgroups. This will
- also help those wrestling with the reported SPX-related problems of the
- much discussed "MSIPX" stack.
