A DOS Basic LAN Manager 1.1 client is running over DOS 4.01.  An
application program calls INT 21 Function 44 Subfunction 9 to determine
which drives are local and which are remote.  The value returned to DX
incorrectly indicates that ALL drives (including those which are
non-local, network drives) are "local", causing the application program
to fail.

Correct values are returned to DX when running DOS 3.3 (Basic or
Enhanced) or when running DOS 4.01 with the 1.1 Enhanced client.

Is this a known problem?  Is a fix for DOS 4.01 or LM 1.1 available?

Thanks for your help!
