   Dunno about UMSLIP, I use CSLIPPER and have also used ETHERSL and Klos
PPP. But why in the world do you think that it has to load itself into high
memory? Sure, this saves precious conventional memory, but it's totally
optional.

   Or even better the other way around: have DOS software establish the
network connection, load a DOS memory-resident TCP/IP stack, and then
either run DOS network apps or load Windows and run Windows network apps,
having a WINSOCK.DLL that's a wrapper around the DOS TCP/IP stack. That's
what was done at CWRU before this Win95 shit.
