Does anyone:
* know about the old Microsoft interlink (interlnk/intersrv) protocol in detail,
* have a copy of interlnk/intersrv.exe,
* have a backup of the defunct ftp.microsoft.com ftp site, or
* have an archive of Dr. Dobb's Journal covering 1996?

@phooky Was it included in any Microsoft installation media? I'm currently at my parents place where we keep a nice trash heap^W^W archive of old computer parts and software.
@sebastian (also, it turns out it was bundled with most later versions of MS-DOS after all.)
@phooky Hehe, okay then it would have been only a matter of finding the right set floppies in the huge pile and dusting of a drive.
@sebastian it might have been, but I've got a copy now-- thanks!
