I have a collection of old computers in my basement networked with thin-net
coax. One of the cards is a 3c509. Linux runs that; maybe you want to swap
cards with the Linux box. But 3Com has drivers on its site; I just went to
www.3com.com, clicked product support, entered 3c509 in the product number
space, clicked drivers, and scrolled down to 3c509x2.exe for "DOS, Novell,
OS/2".
WfWg has a networking component that runs in DOS. I never use it, because
the DOS networking commands make my head hurt. But networking WfWg with
other Microsoft OS's is a piece of cake, and networking with Linux should
be possible with Samba.
