Mike has some good information. I'd like to add my $0.02 and highly recommend
the "System Commander" utility from (?) V Communications (?). It has worked
for me with OS/2, DOS, Win 3.x and NT 4.0 for years without a single problem.
The utility is available from a number of retail sources and is not expensive.
