-[NEW 03-22-95)
-<HR>
-<B>Hello,</B>
-<P>
-I've discovered a way to run WfW's TCP/IP-32 over a SLIP packet driver. This
-allows WfW users to do Windows networking over dialup lines just like it is
-possible with NT and the Windows 95 beta!
-<P>
-For instance, you can mount Microsoft's FTP server as a network drive in File
-Manager or connect to an MS Mail post office over the Internet. Of course,
-the usual Internet stuff works as well. Another interesting site is
-WINSERVE.001; check out www.winserve.com.
-<HR>
-This method should work with any class 1 (Ethernet II) packet driver. However,
-I'm not in a position to try anything else than SLIPPER/CSLIPPER.
-<HR>
-<H3>Files you need:</H3>
-<B>WFWT32.EXE:</B> ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/msclient/wfw/wfwt32.exe
-<P>
- Microsoft's free TCP/IP for WfW. It's a self-extracting archive which
- should be executed in an empty directory.
-<P>
-<B>SLIPPER.EXE:</B> ftp://biocserver.bioc.cwru.edu/pub/dos/slipper/slippr15.zip
-<P>
- Peter Tattam's SLIP packet driver. CSLIPPER.EXE is a variant which supports
- VJ header compression.
-<P>
-<B>PDETHER.EXE:</B> ftp://sjf-lwp.idz.sjf.novell.com/odi/pdether/pde105.zip
-<P>
- Don Provan's ODI-over-Packet Driver shim. This *must* be version 1.05 (or
- above).
-<P>
-<B>LSL.COM:</B>
-<P>
- Novell's LAN Support Layer. If you're an owner of Windows 3.10, you'll
- have it on one of your install disks. Use "expand a:lsl.co_ lsl.com" to
- expand it. Microsoft has stopped bundling LSL.COM with WfW 3.11, though.
- The newest version of LSL.COM can be downloaded as part of
- ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/netware/nwos/dosclnt12/vlms/vlmup2.exe.
- However, it's not clear if this one may be legally used outside Netware
- environments.
-<P>
-<B>NET.CFG:</B>
-<P>
- A configuration file for LSL and PDETHER. It should contain the following
- text:
-<P>
-<PRE>
-Link Support
- Buffers 8 1600
-Link Driver PDETHER
- Int 60
- Frame Ethernet_II
- Protocol IP 800 Ethernet_II
- Protocol ARP 806 Ethernet_II
- Protocol RARP 8035 Ethernet_II
-</PRE>
-<P>
-<B>DISCOMX.COM:</B>
-<P>
- A little hack of mine to disable the COM port used by the SLIP packet driver.
- Usage is e.g. "discomx 2" to disable COM2. This should be run before
- starting WfW, otherwise you'll get "device conflict" messages. Here it is:
-<P><PRE>
-begin 644 discomx.com
-F,=N)V8H.@`"P(+^!`/.N3XH="=MT!DN`XP/1XS')!R:)CP`$S2``
-`
-end
- </PRE>
- (Save this text to disk as <I>filename</I>, then run "uudecode <I>filename</I>".
- uudecode can be found, for instance, at
- ftp://ftp.switch.ch/mirror/simtel/msdos/starter/uudecode.com )
-<P>
-<B>LMHOSTS:</B>
- <P>
- An optional file which should be stored in your Windows subdirectory. It is
- used to map NetBIOS computer names to IP addresses. Example:
-<P>
-<PRE>
-198.105.232.1 ftp #PRE # ftp.microsoft.com
-204.118.34.11 winserve.001 #PRE # Winserve
-</PRE>
-<HR>
-<H3>How to install it:</H3>
-<P>
-<UL>
-<LI>Put the files mentioned above into a directory, e.g. C:\SLIP.
-<P>
-<LI>Put the following lines into AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-<P><PRE>
- cd \slip
- slipper com1 vec=60 baud=57600 ether (may vary with your modem setup)
- lsl
- pdether
- discomx 1 (must correspond to SLIPPER's COM port)
-</PRE>
- (If you use another vec= setting, you must update that in NET.CFG as well.)
- Use CSLIPPER instead of SLIPPER if your SLIP provider supports VJC.
-<P>
-<LI>Start WfW.
-<UL>
-<LI>Under Windows Setup, choose "Change Network Settings".
-<LI>Select "Install Microsoft Windows Network".
-<LI>In "Drivers...", choose "Add Adapter"
- and install the "IPXODI Support driver (Ethernet) [ODI/NDIS3]".
-<LI>In "Add Protocols...", select "Unlisted or Updated Protocol". When asked for a
- driver disk, enter the directory where you expanded WFWT32.EXE.
-<LI>Configure TCP/IP (IP address, enable LMHOSTS lookup, try 204.118.34.11 as primary
- WINS server). Remove all other protocols (NetBEUI, IPX/SPX).
-</UL>
-<P>
-<LI>Windows will probably update the first lines of AUTOEXEC.BAT with
-<P>
-<PRE>
- c:\windows\net start
- c:\windows\odihlp.exe.
-</PRE>
- The "odihlp" line must be moved behind the "pdether" line.
-<P>
-<LI>Windows will also update NET.CFG with some "Frame" lines. These must
- be removed (except "Frame Ethernet_II").
-<P>
-<LI>Somehow, you will have to dial in to your SLIP provider. I do it manually
- before slipper (or cslipper) gets loaded, using a DOS-based terminal program.
- But there are some automatic dialers around. I've seen recommendations for
- ftp://mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/x-slip/slip_it.exe.
-<P>
-<LI>To connect to Microsoft's FTP server (or Winserve) go into File Manager,
- choose "Connect Network drive" and enter "\\ftp" or "\\winserve.001" into
- the "Path:" field.
-</UL>
-<HR>
-<H3>How it works:</H3>
-<P>
-Microsoft's TCP/IP-32 requires an NDIS3 interface. NDIS is Microsoft's way
-to interface with a network.
-<P>
-WfW also contains an NDIS3-over-ODI "shim", whose real mode component is
-ODIHLP.EXE. ODI is Novell's way to interface with a network.
-<P>
-SLIPPER is a Packet Driver (PD) for use over serial lines. PDs are everybody
-else's way to interface with a network. SLIPPER's "ether" option makes it
-look like an Ethernet PD to applications using it.
-<P>
-A "shim" is a program which simulates a network application programming
-interface on top of another.
-<P>
-There is no NDIS SLIP driver which would work with WfW.
-<P>
-There is no NDIS-over-PD shim.
-<P>
-However, there's an ODI-over-PD shim (PDETHER) and an NDIS-over-ODI shim
-(ODIHLP etc.)
-<P>
-OK, so let's do NDIS-over-ODI-over-PD!
- <P>
-This should have worked all the time; however, a non-feature in PDETHER
-versions < 1.05 has prevented the method from functioning until now.
-<HR>
