I hope this hasn't been previously discussed but:

	We're attempting to implement a Windows .DLL library for use
with Excelan's EXOS TCP/IP networking routines.  These has been a lot
of speculation around here that in fact (with out modification)
Excelan can't be implemented under Windows.  Our reasoning ? Well...
Windows grabs and controls all the timers right ?  The network wants
to grab a timer for its own timing requirements and hence you have a
resource conflict. Are these assumption fact or fiction. Has anyone
else done work with Window running in a network environment
 (other than
MS-NET or DOS Lan Man ??).

	Thanx,
		_Marc
