Sorry, I forgot the function numbers and was thinking about AX=5F02h,
not 5F46h.  The former returns one redirector entry at a time.

Yes.

Hmm, I wonder whether all DOS versions we support have support for
5F46h.  RBIL seems to imply some enhanced LAN software should be
installed:

    --------N-215F46-----------------------------
    INT 21 u - LAN Manager Enhanced DOS - LOCAL NetUseEnum

I don't see a reason why it should return any info about unavailable
resources.  If a drive is unavailable, it simply doesn't exist, as far
as any program is concerned; you cannot refer to it without hitting
Int 24h.

Btw, do we have any info on how long does it take for 5F46h to do its
job on a typical system?
