Back then it was pretty impressive stuff.  As were a few other things.  I did 
a little bit of poking around there and ended up on the page for Desqview/X,  
something I've always wanted to try and play with a bit.  They say:

"With a DOS TCP/IP network present DESQview/X can run applications remotely."

Does that mean that there isn't any networking support in DV/X itself?  (Still 
having idle thoughts about dos-type stuff with TCP/IP networking somehow.

Anybody know what dr-dos uses for a protocol offhand?
