 Showoff. ;)

 Did you use LAN Mangler, er, Manager, or something else? 
Nope, I used the "Microsoft Network Client 3", which comes as a couple
of DOS disks.  I seem to remember having to update one of the files,
and add a driver from a 3Com disk.  Even so, it only took an hour or so
to download and set up, including at least one false start, and some
messing with HIMEM.  I spent maybe an hour more messing with things to
save as much space as possible.  If anybody wants to try it, I
bookmarked the webpage I found most helpful:

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/j_helmig/dosclnt3.htm

IPX/SPX are banned from my networks, so obviously I only installed the
TCP/IP stuff.
