Can Dr. Watson co-exist on a machine running another TCP/IP stack?

On Windows 95, through the use of an appropriate software “shim” (NDIS3PKT), Dr. Watson is able to share the NDIS 3 device driver with the existing TCP/IP stack. In fact, Dr. Watson is able to run simultaneously with the Microsoft TCP/IP stack, even at a different IP address! On DOS Dr. Watson can reside on the same computer as other TCP/IP software. However, since Dr. Watson contains its own TCP/IP protocol stack it can not be run at the same time as those other packages. In general, it is necessary to unload the other package before running Dr. Watson.
