Ahh,  this _can_ be done under MS-DOS Client 3.0, but you need to read two
MS KnowledgeBase articles.  One about a vital file for WINSOCK with DOS
Client that isn't installed by the Client installer, and another about
configuring the whole lot.

KB articles are:-

Q142062  and  Q128751

Ouch!

Well, I guess if it works for you.......
