----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have a bit of a problem.  It seems all our copies of DOS connection for
Workgroups have a flaw.  They won't let you add new network cards without
giving an error.  The original copy has long since been missing so I can't
tell if the original is bad.  Microsoft seems to have stopped distributing
it and I can't find it at there site www.microsoft.com.  I have found a lot
of information about it, but no program to download.  What we used it for
was whenever we got a new machine with no software, we would perform the
single disk installation, make a connection with a Windows for Workgroups
Station that has all of our software configurations stored on it, then shoot
down whatever configuration we wanted over the network.  But now all of the
machines that we are getting are using newer network cards then what the
software supports.  There is an option to select different cards other than
what is available, but everytime you try to choose one it gives an error.
Does anyone know either

1.  Where I can get a copy of DOS Connection for Workgroups (DOS Requester)?
2.  Is there another way to make a simple connection with a Workgroups
network through DOS?
3.  Has anyone seen the Jupiter pictures from the probe that was supposed to
penetrate the atmosphere Dec 7?  I forgot to watch.
