Hm, there is a dummy MLID driver called NULL.COM which can be used 
for troubleshooting instead of a real driver like NE2000.COM etc. 
If you load that driver, you will be able to load all the other 
drivers too. Right now, I'm not sure if it can be found in Caldera's 
distribution of PNW, but otherwise have a look at Novell's server or 
mirrors (VLMKT1-6.EXE).

However, I don't expect this will solve your problem in general. 
What kind of network is Pine looking for???
