Help: 

I am going to be rewriting LAN software for my company and we need to
use TCP/IP and some sort of socket API. 
 
We're not happy using FTP software's PC/TCP for DOS because the 
programmers development kit forces you to replace the Microsoft system
include files with their own butchered version. 

We cannot use Beame & Whitesides TCP/IP and socket library either.  We
must operate in a nonblocking mode and their socket library blocks
on a soclose() call if there is a physical break in communications. 
 
I am currently looking into both Network Researches "Fusion for DOS"
and Novell's LAN WorkPlace Toolkit (for LAN WorkPlace for DOS) as 
a replacement solution.  
 

Has anyone out there reading this had experience with either of the
two mention packadges?  Can anyone reccommend any others?  I need
help as I've already bought two packadges only to find out their
limitations and am hesitant to buy any more until I know for sure that
they are any good. 

_ANY_ advice on this would be _GREATLY_ appreciated!!!  Thanks!
