We are in the process of developing a Local Area Network. 

After the transmission of a packet from nodeA to nodeB, 
we want to perform some sort of error-checks. Is there a
way to make DOS do automatic error-checks? I was wondering 
if DOS or any ROMBIOS utilities in the PC can be used to do 
a checksum or CRC (Circular Redundancy Check)? 

Any advise/wisdom conveyed thru e-mail will be much appreciated.
