Eduardo, Congratulations on writing a network file redirector. I've been mulling this over for a while, trying to build up the nerve to do it. I have "Undocumented DOS, 2nd Ed" as well, and now with this code I have two different samples to work with.
I noticed that it doesn't support older versions of DOS - I presume that is just a matter of some of the data structures being different, and that it would be possible? Also, your code assumes a Pentium (which makes sense for something running under VMWare) - it looks like it could be adapted for older CPUs, such as the 8088. (The only Pentium specific instructions that I noticed were in your implementation of chain_intr. Is that correct?) My interest is in doing a virtual hard drive or file system (not decided yet) using the network redirector interface. It would use a packet driver to work over Ethernet.
