  Not sure if this is possible.  I have a 386-33, 8 megs ram, 120 meg hd, etc
with a NE2000 Ethernet card in it.  If I were to run Desqview/X and open
up a say multiple Dos Windows (let's say 6 Dos windows).  Could each window
access TCP/IP PC-Telnet to a Unix server on the network ?  Could these multiple
windows using Telnet all access the same unix server from the same PC/MSDOS
machine using the same ethernet card ?  Or will there be conflicts between
the different Desqview/X windows when they try to use the same ethernet card ?
Can TCP/IP and Telnet support multiple outgoing telnets from the same machine
and network card ?   So I could have 6 programs running at the same time
(Multitasking using Desqview/X on a 386) and all 6 of them using Telnet
to a Unix server.  They could be telneting to different unix servers actually,
but it would all originate from the same machine, with the same ethernet card.
Is this possible?  (Don't know if you can tell from this message, but I do not
yet know enough about TCP/IP connections to know the hell I'm doing, so hope
I worded this correctly.)
