I have been using pktmux11 for quite some time now with Windows 3.1 and
can get it to function mostly correct with FTP Software PCTCP 2.1B and
trumpet 1.05g.  Mostly correct means that all of the services work correctly
but sometimes tnglass (Since pktmux only supports 4 virtual packet
drivers, I use kermit over tnglass in lieu of networked kermit to get
multiple sessions.) will crash upon exit.

I can get qvtnet27 to load and operate properly with multiple telnets and
a ftp.  However, if I close wnqvtnet and then try to run it again, Windows
will crash and I will back at the DOS prompt.  Furthermore, the DOS is not
stable and the system needs to be rebooted to correct the problem.

If I set up qvtnet27 without pktmux11, there are no problems with qvtnet27.
However, this prevents using trumpet and FTP's idrive.

I tried to ftp to uk.ac.rl.ib to get a later version of pktmux to see if
the problem has been reported or corrected, but my system cannot resolve the
address for either ftp or mail.

Has anyone else expereinced this and if so is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance,
Tom Owen
