- Is it possible to have multiple NetBIOS sessions in Windows? Specifically,
- I want to know if it's possible to implement a simple server under Windows
- that listens for NetBIOS connections, spawns a process which communicates
- with a remote client and resumes listening for connections. The idea is to
- support several user processes (preferably up to the 32 session limit) each
- with its own NB session.
-
- It would be something similar to Lotus Notes (although a lot simpler) but the
- server would be a Win app rather than a DOS app. The choice of Windows
- rather than DOS should be obvious to the readers of this newsgroup.
-
- What's needed is really a NB DLL that would be called by each user process
- and would in turn control access to the NB TSR (ugh!) since it's probably not
- shareable and would have to be treated as a critical resource.
-
- If anyone out there has heard of this kind of thing, I'd *love* to hear about
- it! Please reply via e-mail to this address (or 76526.1454@compuserve.com).
