Hi! Kurt,

In a message to Ed Vance you wrote:

Way back then I did have a boot config for DOS, which used the WFWG 3.11
drivers (real mode?).  The Config.Sys was the same as for a WFWG boot but
the AutoExec.Bat did its own calls to 'net', to init & logon using the
network whoosiemahjiggers in the WFWG setup.  No GUI but it worked nicely
as a MS client without any additional software.  The same technique used to
work for Win95a as well.

This is all ancient knowhow, as you say, though I still have those two files.

Cheers,
Paul.
