OK, well anyway if you mean loading drivers via autoexec.bat into
upper memory, you might have to enable it (well you had to in DRDOS).
LAN? Do you mean Novell Lan Workplace for DOS? In that case,
(I've only used 4.2 along with Netware 3.11 and PN 1.0) tcpip.exe
might need an update. I remember the first time (when I was still
using 4.1b) it would die under Novell DOS>

Well, assuming you want a fast track, you might try sending a create
message out for alt.os.dos.caldera (so it'll go with the linux
group). Else, well, the quality of discussion in the news.* groups
is...scary
