Hi, Do you know if there are any products (commerical or pd) that will give me a programmers interface for any reasonable reliable network protocol that uses the serial port? I need to have one application connect to another and be able to send a reliable stream of data back and forth. It would also be nice if the client/server connect sequence was capable of telling a modem to dial a phone and connect to another modem. Something similar to the unix socket interface would be nice. I'd like to have function calls that would do something similar to: socket(), bind(), accept(), listen(), read(), and write(). Thanks a lot, --Mike Leibow

I am intrested in networks that can run under DOS and/or OS/2, using a
variety of hardware (Token ring, ethernet, twisted pair, and serial
would be nice). I am particularly interested in networking software which
would allow me to run windows 3.0 in enhaced mode (386 multitasking mode)
and the server software at the same time. Of course I am interested in
such things as the ammount of ram it takes up, performance, and price.
If anyone could pass along info, or point me in the direction of a
good mag. article comparing net software that runs under windows 3.0
I would appreciate it. Thanx.
