I'm confused here.  A while back I had web access and snagged these files:
-
- Microsoft LAN manager for MS-DOS (Enhanced and Basic)
-
DSK3-1.EXE   [    ] Setup
DSK3-2.EXE   [    ] Drivers 1
DSK3-3.EXE   [    ] Drivers 2
DSK3-4.EXE   [    ] Remote Access Service
DSK3-5.EXE   [    ] NetWare Client
MSWGCN.EXE   [    ] Microsoft Workgroup Connection
README.EXE   [    ] Get this to set up the rest of them
I tried to make a set of floppies for these,  but unfortunately that "drivers 
2" file is corrupted somehow and I need to replace it.  I can't say at this 
point in time where I snagged these from,  but I believe that they came from 
some place you probably pointed me at...
