- OK - I suspect you are the most authoritative voice on this matter. I and
- others have posted requests for help on this issue but no one has had
- a helpful reply that I could see. GIven that lots of people like to
- use packet drivers with their DOS apps and some of those are already
- keen to use OS2 and NW for OS2 there is probably a market.
-
- So Russ, if you say that it is possible who would be the person to
- persuade to write the progam and how much $ would it take? Can
- Crynwr Software sell this kind of packet driver support?
