/FHQ30: What do I need if I want to use DESQview//X's networking features?/FB



DESQview//X allows you to interact with programs running on other
computers that are networked.



If you have a Novell or NetBios-compatible network, you are in luck.
All that is required is that your computer be connected on the network.
Install the Novell Network Manager that is provided with DESQview//X.



To connect with TCP//IP, you will first need a connection to a TCP//IP
network.  Although beyond the scope of the FAQ list, a common low-cost
solution is called ``SLIP''.  Then you will need a TCP//IP kernel that
such as FTP Inc.'s PC//TCP (~400) or a PC//TCP-compatible such as Beam &
Whiteside's package (~$250).  Between the TCP//IP kernel and DESQview//X
sits Quarterdeck's TCP//IP Network Manager (~$200).  The Network Manager
replaces some of the TCP//IP programs and makes the kernel re-entrant
