Re: lynx-dev Lynx and Token-Ring LAN?

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

David is correct.  I run Lynx/32 over a token-ring using the regular
Windows95 networking.  When I was using DOS and Lynx/386, I had to run a
packet driver called ibmtoken.com which fooled wattcp into thinking I had
an ethernet adaptor.  I had to reset it between each use; it was a kludge,
but it worked.
