To run Windows for Workgroups, Novell IPX, and TCP together, you need the
WINQVT/NET package and the DIS_PKT9 driver (from wuarchive.wustl.edu or
other mirror site: windows3/QVTNET31.ZIP and pktdrvr/DIS_PKT9.ZIP).  Then you
need to make some changes to your configuration files.  The examples that
follow assume that you have installed WFW with IPX and that everything is
working on your system.

Here are config.sys, autoexec.bat, and protocol.ini changes needed to run
tcp on top of the windows for workgroups ndis driver.  The lines you will
need to add begin with a "*" -- don't actually add the "*".  Your files may
have a different card driver than ne2000 and you will need to replace
"MS$NE2CLONE" in the `bindings=MS$NE2CLONE` line with the label for your 
card.  Simply copy the "BINDINGS=XXXX" line from the [MS$IPX] section.
Good luck.

EXPLANATION FROM uSOFT.

The answer is basically that you will not be able run PDIPX, but you should
be able to get MSIPX and QVT/Net working together fine.  Right now your
protocol stacks look something like:
+-------+----------+
|PDIPX  | QVT's TCP|
+-------+----------+
|Packet Card Driver|
+------------------+
With WFW they would look like:
+--------+-----------+----------+
|NetBEUI | MSIPX.COM | QVT's TCP|
|vnb.386 | MSIPX.SYS | DIS_PKT  |
+--------+-----------+----------+
|      NDIS Card Driver         |
+-------------------------------+

With WFW you get all the pieces above except DIS_PKT which is a part of
the Clarkson distribution.  It provides a packet driver interface on the
top but sits on top of NDIS instead of a real card.

None of this is "officially" supported by Microsoft, but I'm certain it
will work.  If you run into trouble, with it give me a shout.
