I could get it to work short term but not reliably, had to use the NDIS drivers for the NIC's and different memory addresses depending on which NICs (they had 3 or 4 types, ATT StarLAN, 3COM 3c5xx) which 5250 cards (they had 3 or 4), and which brand of PC (they had IBM, Zenith & AST) all the different drivers wanted to stomp over each other. It mostly came down to telling them they could have 2 of 3 unless they had just the right 5250 card, the perfect NIC combination and never ran any office apps J
If they had Reflections instead of the 5250 card I could get it to work fairly reliably as long as it wasn't on an IBM.
