PARDRV converts a non dos file system into something dos can read.
The process of doing that is through a network redirector interface.
It's a sort of "installable file system" in a dos that doesn't really
allow IFS's. The draw back is that a redirector cannot be
"redirected" again. In order to do that, special drivers would have
to be written for each type of network. Note that even though MSCDEX
gives the same type of functionality, the level of access is very
different from that of the PAR. Can be done? Well, anything can be
done in software given the time and money!
