   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.

   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?

Yes, and no.  Undocumented DOS provides enough information to use the
redirector interface.  Do it.  Just make sure you don't screw up like
Microsoft did with Windows for Workgroups and stomp on someone else's
redirector.
