- I have now gotten pktmux up and running, and it works as billed. I can
- now run NCSA's Telnet and ftp concurrently, and I can have WinQVT/Net active
- at the same time. I have done exactly what is suggested above, loading
- pktdrv through the batch file used to start Telnet or ftp through the
- Windows *.pif, then unloading it at the end of a session. I have found
- that the pktdrv sometimes stays busy, even though I unload it after
- exiting. This means that beginning another Telnet session fails. I
- have found that I can avoid this by executing pktmux /r before reloading
- pktdrv, but I wonder why the port (or whatever it's called) stays busy
- sometimes. No big deal, but I'm trying to understand how this
- multiplexer works.
