So, I need a packet driver and a network stack, right? I've found the 
Etherlink III DOS config utility, so that's probably the card to go for as 
drivers seem readily available.

Does anyone know if the Trumpet stack (hmm, is it even free?) is mirrored for 
download anywhere? The main Trumpet website is inaccessible (at least from 
here - I get 'forbidden' errors, but it may be that my ISPs web proxies have 
screwed up yet again)

(The geeky side of me's quite looking forward to playing around with this; I 
think the last time I used an Ethernetted DOS machine was back in the early 
90s :-)

cheers

Jules
