I have written an Ethernet-like loopback driver. All its interfaces are "connected" to the same virtual Ethernet. The idea is to add the link-level raw socket interface and use it to implement network access from the MS-DOS emulator. It must look like: | | Virtual internal LAN +---- Unix router ------------------------- DOS emulator | | Real LAN It is useful also for experiments with network protocols if you have no real network (like me at home). Is anyone interested in it? By the way, I have fixed the bug (in my opinion) in IPX. It allowed only one link-level (i.e. Ethernet) address for all interfaces. Was it a real bug or feature ? -SB
