DOS requester
<networking> An
MS-DOS client that provides transparent redirection of printing and file accesses to a network
server.
It handles levels 3, 4 and 5 of the
Open Systems Interconnect seven layer model.
A DOS requester under
Novell NetWare will interface to a
network card driver with an
ODI interface, and will be either a single executable (netx.exe) or a set of
VLMs that are loaded on demand.
In the
IBM/
Microsoft LAN Manager/
SMB world, where the name DOS redirector is more common, there will be an
NDIS interface driver and a net.exe executable.
NetWare Client 32 for DOS/Windows (http://developer.novell.com/research/appnotes/1996/may/01/).
