Hi Fabio, Most of the combinations I ever ran it under are defunct now, and even my own memory cells are almost defunct now too... I am not sure if it would add much to the pool of knowledge... But in terms of servers I have run it on Lan Manager, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 4, Win 2000, 2003, and on peer to peer networking with Windows workstations 3.x, 95,98, 2000 and XP... and on Netware 3, 4, 5, 6 with either the Novell clients for DOS and Windows or the Microsoft clients for Windows. Also I used it under QuarterDeck's System Manager...

FDOS developers are aware and trying to work on that, when we'll have (and if) nobody knows . After all nobody said that Fdos was 100% trust-able and stable, it's a project in constant developing stage , so we might expect little issues. I think one the main concerns of Marcos' project is that they need free software (or free licenses) there, as it's a public health center and there is no money to spend on IT. So we have to avoid MS solutions because it will not be a usable solution, But he's on the way. There is also another Dos Option (DR-DOS 7.01) which in this specific version is free for non-commercial use,which may fit if Fdos guys couldn't solve , something that I didn't believe. But Brian, could you mention a couple of combinations (server/client) which do you know that works , I think it's a great opportunity to have it recorded here at the forum, the same way as the Windows 7 issue when it appeared. It's always good to know that we still have options to let DP running fine. Rgds.
