NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

 

 

NetWare DOS Requester Option

 

 

Use this option of the NET.CFG file to configure the NetWare Client

 

 

software for various types of networking support and connectivity.

 

 

The NetWare DOS Requester software provides networking support for

 

 

DOS and Microsoft (MS) Windows client workstations.

 

 

The NetWare DOS Requester is built on an architecture of Virtual Loadable

 

 

Module (VLM) software. The VLM.EXE (VLM manager) file is responsible

 

 

for loading the required modules.

 

 

Previous versions of the NetWare DOS and MS Windows client software

 

 

relied on the single shell file NETX.EXE to provide networking support.

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

The NetWare DOS Requester is not compatible with the NETX.COM or NETX.EXE

 

 

file. Use the NETX.VLM file for compatibility with shell calls.
