Of course, not.

.INF files are setup files for Windows, while .INS files are
card specific setup files for the Novell NetWare DOS client.

So, if you want to set up Personal NetWare or connect to
a big NetWare server, you will need an .INS file, which you
should find in the "ODI" or "NetWare" driver section on your
Realtec floppy disk.

If you cannot find a .INS file, you may try to use the
INS.OEM file shipping with DR-DOS as a prototype to create
your own customized "REALTEC.INS" file from scratch.
You may be able to obtain and transform some of the
information from the .INF file to the .INS file - both
are plain ASCII files describing the available hardware
configuration options of the corresponding card.

Hope it helps,

 Matthias
