DR-DOS was purchased from Novell, pretty much intact. I believe it is the 
equivalent of Novell DOS 6.  Caldera now owns it and essentially gives it
away for non-commercial and educational use.
 
I seem to be lacking a NET.CFG file.  I am using the drivers that come with
the card, an Intel EtherExpress Pro.  It uses an IPXODI driver.  I wonder if
adding a NET.CFG wouldn't take care of the problem.
