We use Trumpet over Ethernet to network our 2 DOS/Windows machines to a 
Linux box.

You only need to fill in the top section on the Trumpet setup window.  
You probably need to have your packet driver installed before you do the 
setup though.  Also it requires 'winpkt.com' to be loaded on top of your 
Ethernet packet driver.

Oh yeah ... we use Trumpet 2.0b ... you can get it from our site at
ftp://minkirri.apana.org.au/pub/windows/winsock

Hope this helps ...

                                Tony.
