Yes, I know there isn't one. My question is: how hard would it be to write 
one? Anyone know of any good books? :)

Who told you that, Bill Gates?

Novell provides the hooks with LAN Workplace for OS/2, just add ODIPKT.
IBM provides the hooks with NTS/2, just add IBMTOKEN.
And, last but not least, I think Dan Lanciani said here the other day that 
Essex' TCP/2 has such support built-in.

Obviously, not that hard :-)

  The problem, however, is that a SAP can only be open in one place at a
  time, so you can only run one TCP/IP application (SAP 0xAA - SNAP) in
  one DOS box at a time.   If there's any way around this, I'd love to
  know about it.
 
  I would be very interested in multi-DOS-box access to FTP Software's
  PC/TCP kernel.   Last time I checked, this was not provided with FTP's
  OS/2 package, but I'm not sure.   Does anyone know?

Have you verified that this works on an ethernet system?  I have only been 
able to confirm it working on Token Ring based LANs.  (NTS/2, that is, no
experiences at all with Novell's...)

This is good to hear, at least in rumor form - any confirmations?
