Most of our applications run on ethernet backbones through a Linux
gateway and have ethernet cards. For NCSA or Arachne on drdos, a packet
driver is all that's required as the dos applications supply the ip
stack.. (There are a number of ppp-slip dialers that present the
standard packet driver face to the world and work just fine.)

I am running IE5 Win31 Trumpet over drdos with an ethernet connection to
the ouside world, and it smokes.. My experience with MS provided dialers
has been bad; I suggest using a dialer like that supplied with Arachne
with the winpkt shim. MS has the bad habit of being "Proprietary" and
doesn't always play well with the other kids :-)
