I'm not quite sure that Microsoft doesn't support DLC in Windows 95. The german Beta Version (March 95, 4.00.347) includes a detailed installation guide for a Real Mode DLC-Driver, but newer revisions might be different… Two files are required (msdlc.exe and netdlc.inf), and both shell be available via download service or CompuServe. (There are – of course – no such files until now). The old WfW 3.11-drivers do run with Windows95, but the protocol can't be installed. By editing the protocol.ini the driver can be configured – and even a status is available with the HP-network-ports-monitor and a test page can be printed (exciting!). Important: "saps=3" in the [msdlc$] section. Printers can be connected to HP-Network-Ports. But printing out of any application causes a system hang (not exciting). Perhaps there is a possibility to install the WfW 3.11-driver by creating a netdlc.inf-file which commits Windows95-settings. But I don't know how such a file should look like. Did anyone try it?
