Yes, actually I got it working decently (although it's kinda mickey-moused).
Basically, what you have to do is have the network up and running before you
even start Crap95. For instance, temporarily edit your msdos.sys and change
BootGUI=0 (it's probably =1 right now) (that way you don't have to keep
fighting with it every time the computer restarts. Basically, what you're
going to do is set every thing up so it works in DOS, then change the BootGUI
back to 1 when you're done. So, get everything running - calling your
startnet.bat from your autoexec.bat. I know Crap95 doesn't like this, but it
works :). What happens is that it will actually list the network-mapped
drives in "My Computer", but it doesn't know that they're network-mapped - as
far as it knows, they are actually, physically in your computer. That's
basically it. You also have to add the following lines to your [386Enh]
section of your system.ini:
TimerCriticalSection=500
ReflectDOSInt2A=true
OverLappedIO=off
That did the trick for me.
