- I think the original poster was concentrating on DOS. The scene is
- not so clear there, as it is with UNIX (TLI/socket etc).
-
- There is the X-APIA specification for X.400 access. And other than that
- only things like NETBIOS, or packet driver at lower layers. Not useful.
-
- (Am I missing something ?) If not, perhaps there is some scope
- for defining an interface standard for DOS accessing lower layer too.
-
- Perhaps, if something like the Mess-DOS ISODE port is ported to such a
- standard it can gain some momentum. It can give the mix-and-match
- power that the packet driver gave you at the NIU card level.

- PS: BTW, is there a copy of the XAPIA on-line somewhere ? (dont think so ;)
