Probably easier driver-wise to pick up an old ISA NIC and a portable 
multi-purpose mini-router like this:

321304924005

I've used one to put a C64 on the Net via WiFi.

Mind you, it looks like my posts are still going unread ;-) That WiFi adapter 
below sure looks a lot like one in my post a couple of days ago (although it is 
a couple of bucks cheaper)

Sigh... ;-)

  Crazy as it sounds, you might be able to get your hands on one of those old 
ISA -> PCMCIA adapters and stick an old 802.11b wifi card in that Toshiba. 
Drivers for DOS/Win3.11 would probably be a challenge, though. Older Linux/BSD 
might work.

          Expensive as... heck. But amazing. I was thinking of getting an old 
Toshiba T5200/100 luggable laptop the other day (sucker for the plasma screen) 
and was thinking of putting an ISA ethernet card in it. But, with this I could 
lug the thing into McDonald's (hey, it runs Win3.1...) or I could take my M100 
into McDonald's... but it's way too expensive for me to even consider buying.
