DOS redirection
The NetWare DOS Requester includes a redirector that, in contrast to the
NetWare shell, is called by DOS.
Under the redirector, DOS makes specific requests for services from the
redirector (such as for file and print services from the server) that DOS
cannot provide. (These functions were previously performed by the NETX
shell, without involving DOS.)
The NetWare DOS Requester also continues to provide network services for
file and print redirection, as well as for connection maintenance and other
NetWare-specific support.
For more information, see the NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows
User Guide and the NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows Technical
Reference.
NetWare Engine Multiplexor (NEMUX)
An engine that connects the NetWare Services processes, which operate in
HP-UX user space, with the NetWare protocol stack, which operates in the
HP-UX kernel.
