Add us to that list too :-) The Novell LAN WorkPlace for DOS contains
an int 14h redirector supporting BAPI, EtherTerm, Int14, Extended Int14
and the NETCI LAN communication interface. It used to support NASI on
int 6Bh but that got pulled recently (I don't think anyone needed NASI
over TELNET, correct me if I'm wrong!). We call ours "TELAPI" and it
contains our own programming extensions for connection setup and tear
down as well as programmatic manipulation of things like TELNET option
negotiations across a circuit.

If someone will tell me the best places to find the various freely
distributable INT 14 using software, I'll try and find a dull Monday
evening when nothing much is happening to check 'em all out (as long as
theres not too many of course :-).
