"  I encountered a scrambled disk when using INTERxxx. I was running IBM
"DOS 5 on both machines, but using the INTERxxx files from PC-DOS 6.22.
"There was no trouble on the INTERLNK end (the device driver), when
"receiving files.  But I also sent files over to the server (INTERSVR) 
"machine, and probably erased some too, with the result a scrambled disk. 
"Fortunately it was a RAM drive, not my real hard disk.

    Query:  Does INTERxxx support RAM-drives?  In particular, does
 it support the version in DOS 5?  I know that it does not support
 CD-ROMs; nor did it support an old removable I once had called a
 Take-Ten.  It seems to support ZIP-Drives if they use the Guest
 driver.  I suspect an interaction with any loaded drivers on the
 host (INTERSVR) m/c.  Anybody any further experience?
