I might be asking the impossible, but here goes:
Suppose I have an MS-DOS application that uses the Telnet API that comes
with some MS-DOS implementations of TCP/IP. Examples are PC-NFS and
Excelan TelAPI. Is there any hope at all running this application under
VP/ix? Or under DOS-Merge?
The API's will probably at some level do IN's and OUT's to the ethernet
adapter. Does SCO UNIX and/or Interactive UNIX have ethernet drivers
with VP/ix/Merge hooks in them to allow this sort of stuff?
The DOS application must be able to share the ethernet adapter with the
native UNIX software, so the VP/ix/Merge hooks would have to be quite
sophisticated in their interpretatation of the TCP/IP API's IN and OUT
instruction.
This sure is doable, but has it been done?
