- Well, I am running odipkt in my DOS sessions but it involves using a second
- card. As best I can tell, you can't get at the first network card (the one
- that the requester is using) without some hack within OS/2. The requestor
- and vipx accomplish this for IPX/SPX. Now if only someone would write some-
- thing like pktmux for OS/2 I could really abuse my network card. :-)
- Oh, less I mislead, I am not using an SMC card but a Cabletron 2119. I suspect
- though that the SMC card would work the same way (if it is the second card.)
