- I don't believe that NTS/2 provides the NDIS interface to the DOS
- boxes. What it does provide is 802.2. My understanding is that
- NDIS defines the interface between the MAC and protocol layers,
- while 802.2 is at the protocol layer:
-
-
- ________________ << NTS/2 provides interface here >>
- | |
- | 802.2 | Protocol Layer
- |________________|
- NDIS --> ________________ << DIS_PKT wants to talk here >>
- | |
- | 802.3 or 802.5 | MAC Layer
- |________________|
- ________________
- | |
- | Network Card | Physical Layer
- |________________|
- So, what I'm saying is I think you're outta luck unless your apps can
- use 802.2 or Netbios. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
