- I use PC Anywhere 4.5 on our network (standalone version) to call out
- through a Shiva netmodem using INT 14 in a dos session under OS/2.
- Everything works fine, we did just buy the lan version but I haven't
- loaded
- it yet. I can't tell you how it would run in host mode under OS/2.
- But
- we are seriously considering it, as a sort of cheep access server,
- with
- maybe a few modems hanging off it and a host in three dos boxes.
