Hi Andrew,

There is a packet driver for RTL8139 at:
<http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm>

Try to use this driver for your card. Look here for more info about 
the installation
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS_-_Packet_driver_installation>

There's also an official DOS driver from Realtek for the 8100B at:
<http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false>

Unfortunately this is not a packet driver but an NDIS driver. You can 
use it as a packet driver anyway, but you need a converter. Look here 
for more information about the installation:
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS_-_NDIS_driver_installation>

You may also want to check if the software interrupt / vector is 
correct. AFAIK most WATTCP programs expect to find the driver at 0x60. 
Other programs look f.i. at 0x61.

Good luck
Uli
