Thanks, Ben.

That URL leads to some good information, so perhaps some day I
may understand this networking stuff a bit better.  :-)

From what I can determine then, NT LANs use something called
SMB, Samba also uses SMB; however the Novell client stuff doesn't
understand SMB - therefore it can't work with such a LAN ...

Yes, as I have indicated in another reply, I do use M$ Client for DOS,
I'm just not happy with the memory it requires and a few other issues ...

Regards,
Joe.
