I am very much interested in hearing more on how you did this...
I'm in the process of trying to get Warp 3 Connect up and running on this 
machine.  The 386 in the other room has WFWG 3.11 on it,  which I was 
considering using for its networking support (though I'm open to other ideas 
on that one),  and I have a 286 here that currently has OpenDOS with the 
networking stuff installed on it.
I've got some 3Com Etherlink III networking cards,  installed two of them so 
far in the first two machines mentioned,  and a hub to use with 'em.
There seem to be an awful lot of software bits to fiddle with to make all 
this stuff work,  and I'm not sure which ones I need and which ones I don't,  
for starters.  The software that came with the cards offers the option of 
installing various drivers,  and then there's the stuff for Warp,  and the 
stuff for WFWG,  and I haven't even looked at what's what with the OpenDOS 
stuff yet...
