Yes, we're using TCP/IP along with WRQ's NS/Open and Reflection software
quite happily.  We also use many of our own TCP/IP apps both 3000 and PC
based.  We have had instances where some programs, compiled on a PC running
WFWG3.11 *would not* work properly, at least until they were recompiled
under Win95.  These were very specific instances though, related to some
undocumented (?!) Delphi compiles using a WRQ IMPLIB.  Recompiled under
Win95, using the MS Winsock LIB and no problems.  We're pretty happy with
it, but we've found a few peculiarities when use multiple non-blocked
LISTENS to a single port.  Seems the messages generated are definitely not
the ones expected.  Still it can work.
 
What's your exact problem?  Is it the speed?  We've found Win95 has a lot in
common with the MPE Posix shell - everything runs slower, chews up more
resources, and makes you wonder why you wanted to go this way in the first
place.  Overall though, we can live with it.
