Ive written a TSR that does, besides other things, background
Network loading.  It does it under int 08. I do all the documented
context saving/swapping & i am able to do local disk access, but as
soon as it gets to the bit of code that does network access it hangs.

the setup is DOS 5.0, Lantastic 4.1, Western digital Ethernet, & Borland
C 3.0.  Other setup  emm386, smartdrv, western digital driver loaded
high as also redirector but not the server.

All tests are done before entry in-dos flag(should i do a dos swap??),
critical error flag, & recursion flag.

I treat int 08 the same as int 09 as ive yet to read anywhere that int
08 has to be treated any different. Or is there a 'Network
busy-or-something flag' ???

PLEASE any guru out there that can help i would be much app. as ive
tried to locate this thing for 3 weeks now.

yours wasted,
Alfred
