I know that some comms packages can be used over a Novell network if they support INT-14 redirection. Does anyone know if this type of thing can be done on a PCSA network. (I've been asked to rewrite part of a package that currently uses a RS232 connectionto work on Workstations that only have LAN connections. I've hacked something out with LAT, but it's a little too kludgey for comfort. If INT-14 redirection type services are available, I might be able stick a little closer to the original design.) Thanks, Aengus -- RBYAML@ROHMHAAS.COM Aengus Lawlor RBYAML@ROHVM1.BITNET (who used to be ALAWLOR@DIT.IE)

In MS-DOS Kermit I use the CTERM and LAT interfaces directly to replace SETHOST with Kermit. This means that you could write an Int 14h TSR to do what I did on one side and offer Int 14h on the other. This TSR would need to do session managment so the host name could be specified etc; I do that in Kermit's code. Joe Doupnik
