- I didn't try it with the same card, but we are using two cards (because we
- lack a OS/2 driver for the NI5210 card). We may use the OS/2 requester with
- one card (eg. NE2000) to run multiple VDM's. In one (only one!) Dos window I
- can load the NI5210 packet driver and use Charon or NCSA-Telnet. This works
- fine.
-
- BTW: Charon (3.4) sometimes crashes with an illegal instruction in the DOS-
- Box. Does someone know why? Did anyone have a similar problem?
