Hi,
I used to use the dsn0 device back in 1.2.13 days, with no problems. When
I updated my kernel to around 1.3.70, I found that the dosnet driver
wouldn't compile. I modified the driver to account for the changes in the
kernel interfaces, but discovered the the kernel's higher-level network
code had changed such that only one application at a time could open a
SOCK_PACKET for any specific socket type, which prevented the whole scheme
from working.
Has this behaviour of SOCK_PACKET changed since circa 1.3.70? If so,
dosnet.c could be modified to work with new kernels. (Of course, if
somebody's already done this I may be flapping my jaw needlessly. :)
On the other hand, I understand that it's possible to run multiple DOS
sessions with TCP/IP using the standard packet driver, if you give each
DOS box a different IP address, and disable forwarding to those addresses.
So there's probably not much point to using dsn0 if you're on an Ethernet.
(Does the packet driver also run over PPP lines?)
