The Intel 8/16 adapter should work on most machines. Look for a "packet driver" for that particular card. A packet driver is a TSR that serves as the device driver for a specific network card. It presents a common high level interface that DOS networking code can then use. This writeup might be helpful: http://brutman.com/Dos_Networking/packet_drivers.html Intel might have their old packet drivers on the web site. Another place to look is the Crynwr packet driver collect. Just search for Crynwr and you'll find it. A packet driver only gives you a device driver capable of sending and receiving raw Ethernet frames. After that choose your software and configure accordingly. FreeDOS has some networking programs installed already. Without trying to show too much bias I would look at the mTCP programs - the home page is here: http://www.brutman.com/mTCP (Disclaimer: I wrote the code.)
