Hi Jerry,

> I'm running JNOS 1.11f as a DOS window in Windows 95.

The only way I can think of having DIRECT access to any network card
is to a) make sure Windows has NO CONTROL over it, then b) load a packet
driver for that card in the DOS WINDOW before you run JNOS in it. That
*should* work, however the question is then finding a suitable packet
driver for the specific card.

Attaching to the packet driver from within JNOS is straightforward. If
you need the syntax, let me know.

> but is that driver only active on DOS mode ?

You can load it in your autoexec.bat BEFORE windows starts up, BUT again,
you have to make sure that Windows does not try to grab control of the card
when Windows starts up.

Hope that helps.
