IPX and NETX are real small. Try loading LSL, IPXODI, and the VLMs and

There's nothing like a newly updated locate database...
SAMBA is that NETBEUI-compatible protocol used by
Windows for Workgroups,
isn't it? I've heard a lot of mention of it but no details except that its
DOS client is HUGE by comparison with the already large but purportedly MUCH
smaller NOVELL IPX+NETX. (about 96K).
