[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] FTP Software's Kernel & DesqView 386

xeee02@mixcom.UUCP (Dean A. Roth) (08/31/90)

I would like to hear your experience using DesqView 386
(a 386 running in virtual 386 mode) and FTP Software's
2.x kernel.  I am looking to determine the optimum configuration.

I have tried running the kernel outside of Desqview and within
a window.  The former resulted in Desqview blowing up with 
exception 13.  (I'm not pointing fingers at any product.  I'm
just saying something didn't work that way.)  The latter has
worked so far, but limits TCP/IP access to one window/process.

(The version of the documents I have do not say anything about
using the kernel with Desqview.)

Thank you.

As a general rule, you *must* load the program grabbing the communication
card interrupt *inside* the DESQview application. I. e. packet driver
or/and FTP's kernel.
