- You need to go into your dos box settings (settings menu, page
- through until you see teh DOS Session button) and change
- your lastdrive to E. That will give you your F prompt. The
- novell stuff all works fine in a VDM (doesn't need to be a
- specific dos session). I have loaded all novell drivers and as
- well as packet drivers in a vdm with no problem. Of course
- this will only give you DOS access to your file server and
- network resources. , OS/2 needs the requestors that Tim
- mentioned.
