- /FHQ30: What do I need if I want to use DESQview//X's networking features?/FB
-
-
-
- DESQview//X allows you to interact with programs running on other
- computers that are networked.

-
- If you have a Novell or NetBios-compatible network, you are in luck.
- All that is required is that your computer be connected on the network.
- Install the Novell Network Manager that is provided with DESQview//X.

- To connect with TCP//IP, you will first need a connection to a TCP//IP
- network. Although beyond the scope of the FAQ list, a common low-cost
- solution is called ``SLIP''. Then you will need a TCP//IP kernel that
- such as FTP Inc.'s PC//TCP (~400) or a PC//TCP-compatible such as Beam &
- Whiteside's package (~$250). Between the TCP//IP kernel and DESQview//X
- sits Quarterdeck's TCP//IP Network Manager (~$200). The Network Manager
- replaces some of the TCP//IP programs and makes the kernel re-entrant
