- Well, I asked a similar question recently, and here are the best bits
- from the two answers I got:
-
- Answer 1.
-
- It is possible yes, but you have to use the pktmux packet multiplexor. It's
- available from sunee.waterloo.edu, under pub/wattcp/pktmux11.exe as a self
- extracting archive.

- Answer 2.
-
- According to the latest version of the release notes that I have, there is a
- PC-NFS _version_ of WinQVT/Net. I had thought this capability was going to be
- included in the standard version, but that is not the case. Apparently, you
- have to order this version from QPC, as it is not available as shareware. The
- manual says to send $40 (the normal registration fee) for a copy of it; I
- don't know if you can "trade" your registration of the non-PC-NFS version
- for that (since registration of that is also $40). Not being a PC-NFS user,
- I have not had the need to investigate this further. Hope this helps...
-
- Thanks to the two people who answered me! I'm posting this for the
- obvious reason that it seems that many people would like to know.
-
- Register QVTNet now!
