I know of no source for NDIS protocol drivers except the VERY expensive
seminars that IBM puts on once in a while.  NDIS MAC drivers are somewhat
easier to get, but are essentially useless for your purposes.  OS/2
PROGRAMMING is supposed to have an article on developing NDIS protocol
drivers any time now, but I haven't seen it, yet.

What OS/2 really needs is a Unix-style PTY.  That would allow all kinds of
things like this.

I don't know of a source for an NFS client for DOS, but I used NCSA Telnet
for both Telnet and FTP and I've used the KA9Q for most of the rest.
