I have all the network drivers etc. loaded, and can access the
drives on the university network.  What I want to do is to use
ftp, telnet, etc., on my own machine.  I have NCSA Telnet, and
DosLynx, but they both return the error that a packet driver
wasn't found.

After a bit of frustration, I figured out I need ODINSUP.COM
loaded too.  So I've tried it.  But it just returns the error:

     FATAL: The NDIS PROTMAN module is not loaded.

My questions:

 (1) am I on the right track here, with needing odinsup?

 (2) what is PROTMAN?  On the Novell site, in the technical help
      notes, they list protman.exe(?) as needing to be loaded in
      config.sys.  However, my OpenDos distribution did not come
      with any such program.  Moreover, my search inside of
      DosBook does not turn up any mention of protman.  (Yet, it
      DOES mention odinsup, as if it should be able to load
      without anything such as protman, or even any changes to
      config.sys.)

Thanks for any help!
