Does anyone know of a single driver that I could use for both purposes, so I didn't have to keep rebooting my machine? Yes. Sounds like you haven't heard about BYU's Novell/packet-driver client. It acts like any other Ethernet card, except that it uses the packet driver installed on your machine. It's a good net neighbor, and will happily share the driver with a TCP/IP package. Additionally, can I load it into XMS with QEMM 5.1? I don't know. Seems possible. Can I unload it (without rebooting) if I need to? Yes, see INSTALL.DOC in the 8.x packet driver distribution (was called DRIVERS.DOC in 7.x). -- --russ I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
