Hi there! I'm having a little problem getting my good ole' dos-machine connected to the network. The reason is (of course) lack of memory. This lack is caused by this huge driver, bridge.ip. It consumes easily about 40k of my DOS-memory and then other services stop. Anyone got idea of even a *little* smaller driver for my device? I'm getting desperate - again!!

I think NetWare uses about 50K as PCI does. Oh, by the way, I believe bridge.ip is the part that traps the BIOS calls and sends them to the host via the ethernet driver. You should have a separate driver for your Ethernet controller. At least my PCI (2.8.7) does. Can anybody post how much PCNFS uses? Dan -- Daniel A.
