There are 3 posbilities to conennect DROS to Linux:

 1. Using nwclient and marsnwe.
	This using the ipx-protocol. Its easy to configure and the way i do.

 2. Using M$-DOS IP-STACK (WIN3.1).
	There is no need to install M$-Win 3.1 on the DOS-Client, but it takes
	a lot of memory under 640kb, so you can get problems with your Programms.
	There is a NETBIOS-client within. I tried it, but got trouble with
	mem on DOS-client. 

 3. Using DR-DOS IP-STACK.
	It's not free, but very small use of mem under 640kb. Then you need a
	nfs-client which is not included. (only ftp is included).
	That's the way i'm working on.

May be there is the posibillty to merge number 2 and 3 (using DR_DOS IPSTACK
and M$DOS-NETBIOSclient), but i did't try it.
