Actually, the dos client works with the MS Dos and Windows IP stacks
and it's netbios over TCP/IP. It's the IP stack that's the real issue.
IPX and NETX are real small. Try loading LSL, IPXODI, and the VLMs and
it is more like the microsoft stuff in size 8-(.

Ain't it the truth... Redid the servers this weekend with 2.6 of Samba.
Now I've got to try to do the domain thing and login scripts for it.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
