Ok, these are the programs that implement networks stacks under DOS. LSL is the Link Support Layer. You load this first. It's the most fundamental part. Next comes the card driver. Traditionally, this can be a driver for a physical card (like ne2000.exe or 3c509.exe). But it can also be a clever program that actually outputs it's packets to some other driver. Finally, IPXODI is the IPX protocol program. This manages the higher-level protocol tranfers for NETX (or whatever IPX program you're running). > What do they do, how do they fit together, who makes them, and where are > they found? Novell is one popular source for programs that do these jobs. As for where they're found... www.novell.com, but I don't remember what versions you want or where to look. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon.
