Current requirement needs AREV to run on a DOS PC box (wireless DOS 6.22 work station). No Win3.1, No Win95, No Win98.
Any ideas on getting this to run from an NT server?
Am I better off using a Novell server with Netware NLM ?
Is the NPP part of the Netware NLM or just the NT service ?

Easy. Install a network card which is a supported client NT client card (my favorite is 3COM 3C509B). Install the NT DOS client. The floppy disk images and instructions are on the NT server CD.
You will need to also install the NPP into the AREV system, but as this is included with the NT service package, this is also easy.
You could use the NLM and netware instead. Works just as well.
It's nice to see somebody upgrading from windows to DOS !

Thanks for responding to my AREV application on a DOS 6.22 PC using NT 4.0 question. This is how I understand your suggestions. Please verify if possible.
1.) I will use an NT 4.0 server (possibly 5.0)
2.) I will keep my AREV.EXE stored on the NT server
3.) I will keep my OINSIGHT.EXE stored on the same NT server
(10 Win98 workstations will also be sharing/updating same data)4.) I will apply the NT service to the NT Server
5.) Is NPP applied to the AREV.EXE and OINSIGHT.EXE ?
6.) The NT client card in the DOS 6.22 terminals must be
compatible with a 3COM 3C509B NT card.7.) Install the NT DOS client on each of the DOS 6.22 terminals
8.) Which network driver do I select from AREV.EXE ?
('All networks' I am told will be one of the options ?)9.) Do you or anyone you know have positive results with AREV on
a DOS 6.22 PC (no Windows) using an NT 4.0 network ?Thanks again for all the ideas and help…….Brian
