Hello!

Can anybody recommend me some network libraries for DJGPP/DOS except
WATT-32 one? I have used WATT-32 library with pleasure, it's excelent
but it is needed packet driver to work. Now I have not such driver,
these is _only_ NDIS and NDIS2 driver for DOS. I successfully
installed MS LAN client for DOS on this computer and now can access to
network.

But my program is written in DJGPP and I want to use this NDIS driver
instead packet one somehow directly. Is it possible? Of cource, I
found laying ("shim") driver that works over NDIS and looks like
packet driver for WATT-32. But this sandwich works VERY slow (any data
should be sent to WATT-32 then to "shim" then to NDIS driver then
returned to back...), no more 600 kb/s on 100Mb network. It is
critical path for my program.

Is any another solution for this problem? Any ideas?

Thank you,

Alex
