I had limited success with this setup
enable IPX under kernel
enable IPX network in Dosemu
use ipxodi in lantasti ( ver 7 or 6 had it , not sure about 8 )
run redir before lredir, redir detects redirected drives
( the good news is you can make a lantasti boot disk and copy all the files
to the ramdisk and it will fit )
next I am going to try 2 netcards and allow the IO ports and IRQ raw access
for the dos session and not tell Linux to detect the card at all
( but this may not work with PCMCIA for you ).
but it's not a priority for me right now :(

that enough ?
