Hello all...

Every now and then I have heard rumors (or something) about a version of the
3Com networking software (not 3+Open) which will use TCP/IP protocols and
not XNS.  Anyone heard anything (3Com, are you listening :-) )?  We
started with 3Com when they were the only alternative to network
Macs and PCs together, but now need to talk to machines which speak TCP/IP.
We've heard about WIN/ROUTE and all from Wollongong, but these solutions
require a dedicated PC as a gateway.  What we really want is simply
the current software with TCP/IP instead of XNS.  Packet drivers
cost memory, which is already in rather short supply on a standard
DOS machine.

Thanks for any information.
