So does Arachne, it
seems.
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.
I built a similar setup a few months ago, but I used the Microsoft
TCP/IP stuff on top of DOS 6.22. It was easy to set up, and now I have
telnet, FTP, ICMP (some stacks don't support that), and the whole thing
uses DHCP and mounts drives from my Samba server.

Showoff. ;)
Did you use LAN Mangler, er, Manager, or something else?

LAN Manager makes the setup very easy. It allows you to specify the

The MS TCP/IP stack works surprisingly well. The setup program is easy to
use and fairly powerful, and the accessibility you get on a DOS box is
really good. It has support for a number of NICs (including the generic
NE1000 and NE2000). And most of the modules can be loaded high, saving
your main memory for applications. I can mount WinXP drives on my lowly
DOS box would full read/write access. You don't get long filenames, of
course, but you can still access any file because of the "stem" that MS
puts in the filesystem to convert long names to 8.3.
