I am in a position in which I have to implement my own file system under DOS 5.0.
This file system would be used for one device only (the normal DOS drives 
would also be available).  The obvious way to do it is to place myself above
DOS (Int 21), like Netware does.  However, it seems like it might be easier to
create my own "Network Redirector" as described in the Schulman's "Undocumented
DOS" book.  Apparently, Microsoft uses this for CD-ROM systems and network
interfaces.  But the MS-DOS Programmer's Reference does not document it
(although it is mentioned).

Has anyone successfully used this interface (Int 2F, Function 11) to
create their own "Network Redirector" file system (besides
the big guys)?  Is it documented anywhere besides Schulman's book?  Any
information on experience with this interface would be appreciated.  Thanks.
