   Wow, talking to a 386 even!  I got rid of all my non-Pentium stuff a   
   while ago so my TBBS box is a P233.  Needless to say it sits near idle a   
   lot. :)

   I'm curious if you had to set your Network number.  I've done a few   
   tests with the verious Windows IPX stacks and this seems to be required   
   to use SAP.  (My assumption is that if you installed a nice Netware   
   stack it would work without any tweaking.)

   Good advice!  We do need to get some network configuration information   
   up.  I have successfully shared a drive from NT to a DOS box over IPX   
   using Microsoft Client for DOS.  Also the eSoft site still has some tech   
   docs on the IPAD that also apply to TBBS.
