Our WIN/PC package has supported TCP/IP on MS/DOS for several years and we are currently testing it on PS/2 machines. Our TCP/IP is unlike many other PC networking software packages in that the networking code is loaded on demand rather than being installed permanantly at boot time. This means that we only require 728 bytes of resident memory, well under your 19K requirement. The drawback is that it will not be available while your CAD/CAM application is running, so you will not be able to map logical drives out over the net. On the PS/2 we will be supporting the usual Ethernet and Token ring adapters on the PC-bus products, but you mentioned using Model 80's which (to the best of my recollection) don't have PC-bus slots. We are currently working on a driver for a microchannel bus ethernet adapter. Using a microchannel machine also eliminates most of the products from the vendors mentioned by Dan Lynch. Last I heard none of them had a microchannel product, but I don't poll them daily so you should check with them to be sure. Let me know if you would like any more information about our product. --------- John Bartas Project Leader, Software engineering The Wollongong Group ------
