Does anyone know besides the Microsoft Networking client are there any other options for doing NetBEUI over IP? The microsoft client is pretty fat with TCP/IP support enabled, and I'm hoping for something leaner out there. - Background At work I'm trying to switch from Performance Technologies POWERLan to using Linux and SAMBA since POWERLan has not been supported since 1998. They did release it as unsupported freeware and so we've been able to expand our network and use it till now. The issue is the last client they released was for NT 4 and we are going to Win2k. We need something compatible with our shop floor DOS clients, Win2K, Win9x and Linux/SAMBA. Any suggestions? Paul PS you can get POWERLan at ftp://ftp.perftech.com/PowZip/powlan.zip if your curious, though I have not tried it out with FreeDOS so can't claim compatibility. It's a fine product that we've used with about 200 workstations since '92 it's a fine product for DOS, Win 3.x & 9x just a tad long in the tooth.
