Windows 3.0 is much more of an operating system than DOS is, but still
a good deal less than OS/2 is.  There are a number of obstacles that
you'd need to surmount to use NCSA in multiple windows, the largest being
separating the TCP/IP protocol stack from the Telnet/FTP layer so they
can be shared by multiple applications.  We're working on it, Sun is
probably working on it, TWG is probably working on it.  I don't have
a reliable date yet, and I haven't heard any promises from other vendors.

Regarding the NETBIOS re-entrancy - if you got specifics about why it
is required from Artisoft, or have someone there who can talk

internals with us, let me know.  The code we currently have in beta
test might help too...
