Some time ago, I released details for configuring UKNOS (The UK Varient of JNOS110) to facilitate the use of 16-bit windows applications (mailers,
newsreaders browsers etc) to compliment NOS under windows 3.1 and windows95. This has provided many of you with a convenient user interface to NOS.
Since this original work, UKNOS development has ceased. The current UKNOS code has Y2K compliance issues associated wth it, so I have investigated a
number of ways to interface the currently supported JNOS111x code with WFW 3.11, Win95 and Win98 including Second Edition (Not NT, 2000 or ME!) and of course all the modern 32-Bit internet applications you're
familiar with..
Work on this is now complete using the NDIS3PKT v2.4 (or greater) driver available from Dan Lanciani in the U.S.A at www.danlan.com . I have subsequently written full configuration instructions which are published in the Word97 & RTF files KIPGWIN99 in the links below. In addition, I have included 2 compiles of JNOS111E which are fully compatible with this interface. The ECO and ELS are the Client Only and Limited Server versions respectively. Limited server includes nntp server capabilities.
