[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 4dos and 3+Open

Greetings from McMinnville, OR.   The center of the universe.

I'm trying out 4dos 3.0 and have noticed the same problem that 2.1 had
when trying to load  NBP (NetBios Protocol) of 3com 3+Open.  Namely,
NBP hangs when loading.

This only happens if I'm using 4dos as the primary shell.  I can get around
this by loading command.com first then 4dos as the secondary shell.  I 
would, however, like to avoid this for purely esthetic reasons.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?  There is no mention of it in
the compat.doc file.  The readme file says that it is compatible with
Novell and Microsoft networks.  I had thought that 3+Open was a
Microsoft "compatible" net.

Thanks,
marco
