There are some supposedly DOS drivers for some of the ethernet cards
I already have, but I can't use any of those because none of those

described as DOS drivers if you have to suffer the pain and the risks
of running DOS under a Wndoze box in order to use them.
I think, by all rights, those should be called windo$e drivers. 

Any suggestions about any specific brands, types, and models of
ethernet cards I should look for?


I Have four NICs here I tried with DOS, only found drivers for
two of them. No drivers for a Linksys and a Compaq Netelligent.
I did find drivers for the two 3Coms tho, and they work just fine.
