Todd, I just sent you a copy of #2 below, the free-ware one. You may have
been asking about #3.

The Evil Empire had these permutations of DOS networking:

1) Windows for Workgroups 3.11: Easy to set up, runs NetBEUI, no sharing,
licensed, you probably have it on some old floppies somewhere.
2) MS-DOS Client for LanManager: Does NetBEUI, TCP/IP and Novell, no
sharing, Free-Ware
3) Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS: No TCP/IP, able to share printers and
directories from DOS, has a text-based email client for old-style
MS-Postoffices, licensed (~$39)

Each one has its own advantages; way back when I tried to get #3's printer
sharing working with #2's TCP stack to build cheap print servers from old
386s. Gave up on that when Axis introduced reasonably priced dedicated
boxes :)

Very off topic ... but I'm stuck.

We have a DOS V 6.22 PC that I need to hook up to our network.

Several years ago MS sold a "Add-On" product for DOS V 6.22 that added
network functionality.

It is no longer on the market.

Any chance someone out there has a copy and would be willing to email it to
me ?
