Hi Mateusz,
I've been following your posts both here and on the VCF forum (
http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?57027-EtherDFS-an-ethernet-drive-for-DOS)
and was inspired to pick up a Xircom PE3 adapter to help move files to and
from my old XT with a bad FDC.
I set up a Linux VM with a FAT32 partition for the server and was playing
with version 0.8.1 on my 486 and it was working great. Loaded Lotus 123
right off the network (and faster than I expected).
My question is: Does the server/protocol support multiple simultaneous
connections?
If so, should I try to avoid accessing the same files from both clients?
Thanks,
--Andy

Not that long ago I announced here a new software I have created, named<br>
EtherDFS. EtherDFS is an 'installable filesystem' TSR for DOS. It maps
a<br>
drive from a remote computer (typically Linux-based) to a local drive<br>
letter, using raw ethernet frames to communicate.<br>
<br>
Last weekend I released a new version of EtherDFS, the version 0.8.1. If<br>
you're using EtherDFS, then upgrading to this latest version is highly<br>
recommended, as it significantly improves the protocol's reliability<br>
(especially important with buggy NICs that sometime send more data than<br>
actually requested by the application - observed at least on Xircom PE3<br>
dongles, but might happen on other hardware as well).<br>
<br>
Changelog since v0.6:<br>
<br>
[version 0.8.1]<br>
-a- EtherDFS frames are validated by a cksum (can be disabled with /n),<br>
-a- EDF5 frames announce their length to avoid troubles with Ethernet<br>
padding,<br>
-a- arguments can be passed in any order,<br>
-a- /q and /u can be used together.<br>
<br>
[version 0.8]<br>
-a- improved self-detection to avoid loading EtherDFS twice,<br>
-a- added unloading support (/u),<br>
-a- fixed a FindFirst regression (fixes usage under 4DOS),<br>
-a- fixed SETATTR action when using a non-FreeDOS attrib command,<br>
-a- implemented the 'Seek From End' call,<br>
-a- minor memory optimizations,<br>
-a- makes sure the redirector API is available before installing,<br>
-a- support for multiple drive mappings.<br>
<br>
[version 0.7]<br>
-a- MS-DOS compat: flagging newly mapped drive so MS-DOS doesn't ignore
it,<br>
-a- fixed FindNext behavior so it's compatible with ATTRIB from MS-DOS,<br>
-a- implemented the "Special Open" call (used by COPY in MSDOS 5.0
and<br>
6.x),<br>
-a- increased timeout retries from 3 to 5 (more reliable on lossy<br>
networks),<br>
-a- fixed parsing of the MAC address provided on command-line,<br>
-a- minor speed optimizations.<br>
