I tried out some of the DOS network interrupts on PC-NFS.  Some seem to
work, while others fail miserably.  Function 0x5E00 (Get Machine Name)
works correctly, assuming your hostname is less than 16 characters.

Function 0x5F02 (Get Redirection List Entry) also works - let's you
write a faster NET USE function.

Function 0x5E02 returns AX=0x32, "Network Request Not Supported"

My question is this - why does function 0x5F04 (Cancel Redirection)
return AX=5, "Access Denied", as does function 0x5F03, "Redirect
Device"?  Am I calling the function correctly, or doesn't PC-NFS
support this call?  If the call is not supported, why return "Access
Denied" instead of "Network Request Not Supported"?

Are there any comments, suggestions, etc (Geoff?) on the above?

Thank you,
