Has anyone had any luck trying to run arev on a Linux box using Dosemu? I get the following error every time:
Linear Hash IPX Driver - REVMEDIA Open Error: FS466.
relevant information:
Novell 4.11 server running the linear hash nlm
Redhat 7 machine with IPX support in the kernel
DOSEMU V 1.0.1-1
I have no problems running arev on any of my DOS, Win95/98, WinNT boxes I'd just like to be able to run it on my linux workstation as well.

No guarantees, but if you switch to byte-range locking we've heard from an antipodean correspondent that you can run both Linux clients and servers running AREV under the DOS emulation. This has not been tested by ourselves, (certainly not in a mixed workstation environment).

Nothin' like playing Russian Roulette with a machine gun. I'd try it on a local disk copy first though. Otherwise, it's like reading braille with a hook.

Hi Sprezz,
Of course, you antipodean correspondent would probably have some interest in dosEMU - he would have known the famous Eric before Eric's sad and unfortunate demise……

Since DosEMU causes the FS466 error but running on Native DOS doesn't I'm curious what's missing from the DosEMU environment. That is what is necessary for my current locking scheme to work that is different from the scheme used by byte-range locking?

We ran into exactly the same problems. After trying different timings and versions, there is no progress. Is there anybody with more information? What else can we try?
