When I tried to set up a DOS network stack under DOS and DOSEMU I ran into a lot of very flaky software, resulting in unreliable data transfers which in the end I abandoned. If I were going to try something like this, I'd have Linux do the file sharing bit across the network, so that the two Linux boxes could happily manipulate the same data, and then make the shared directory (or directories) visible to DOS somehow afterwards. DOS doesn't need to know that the files/directories are not really what and where it thinks they are. You will need to be careful about simultaneous access to files of course as DOS has no concepts of file ownership and stuff like that. 73, Ged. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
