I'm looking at the "installation" diskette and only see "abios.sys" It's
got a doscall1.sys, a config.sys and lots of other things, but not what you

...
Functions that were previously available only in separate communications
programs for IBM PC DOS are now combined with the benefits of LAN support

Base operating system....
minimum 3MB memory, 20MB fixed disk storage space.
