- As I said in the abovereferenced article, I have used the he-- out of NDIS
- with combinations of DECnet, TCP/IP and LAT terminal services... No hangs.
- It just Works. I suspect that the claim that ODI is "more reliable" is
- based on the fact that "nobody" but Novell uses it. Has your vendor
- actually tried to run heavy traffic over an ODI-based Ethernet connection
- with two or more different protocols at the same time? It is theoretically
- possible...
