Hi,

I've just been doing much the same thing so I can ftp stuff over to my
headless 486 that thinks it's a PDP-11 - old NE2000 card, Crwnyr(sp?)
driver and NCSA telnet/ftp.

The future was never like this!
Remember the
joys of TCP/IP on MS-DOS in the late 1980s?
Remember it? I live it. The 486 DOS laptop besides me took several days to
piece everything together. It runs a 3Com packet driver on top of some
crufted together Card/Socket Services TSRs, and then NCSA Telnet and FTP
have their own TCP stacks that will talk to it. So does Arachne, it seems.
