DOS Requester

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
DOS requester

   <networking> An {MS-DOS} {client} that provides transparent
   redirection of printing and file accesses to a network
   {server}.  It handles levels 3, 4 and 5 of the {Open Systems
   Interconnect} seven layer model.

   A DOS requester under {Novell NetWare} will interface to a
   {network card} driver with an {ODI} interface, and will be
   either a single executable (netx.exe) or a set of {VLMs} that
   are loaded on demand.

   In the {IBM}/{Microsoft} {LAN Manager}/{SMB} world, where
   the name {DOS redirector} is more common, there will be an
   {NDIS} interface driver and a net.exe executable.
