I'm running Windows for Workgroups, DEC PathWorks, and WinQVT/Net, all at 
the same time. Here's a fragment of config.sys:

devicehigh=C:\WIN31\protman.dos /i:C:\WIN31		<== WFWG NDIS protocol manager
DEVICEHIGH=\DECNET\DISPKT\DIS_PKT9.DOS 			<== NDIS to packet shim
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WIN31\depca.dos					<== NDIS driver for 
													Pathworks & WFWG
devicehigh=C:\WIN31\workgrp.sys					<== WFWG


and my PROTOCOL.INI from the windows directory:

[network.setup]						<== WFWG
version=0x3100
netcard=ms$ewtrb,1,MS$EWTRB
transport=ms$netbeui,MS$NETBEUI
lana1=ms$ewtrb,1,ms$netbeui

[protman]							<== Protocol manager
DriverName=PROTMAN$
PRIORITY=MS$NETBEUI

[MS$EWTRB]							<== NDIS driver settings
DriverName=DEPCA$
RamAddress=0xD000
Interrupt=5
MaxMulticast=8
MaxTransmits=16
AdapterName=DE200

[MS$NETBEUI]						<== Transport (NETBEUI)
DriverName=netbeui$
SESSIONS=10
NCBS=32
BINDINGS=MS$EWTRB
LANABASE=1							<== changed this from LANABASE=0 
										for Pathworks connectivity

[PKTDRV]							<== packet driver specs			
drivername = PKTDRV$
bindings = MS$EWTRB
intvec = 0x7b						<== use this int. vector in QVT 
										(or choose one of your own)

[DATALINK]							<== lifted out of the PathWorks
DRIVERNAME   = DLL$MAC					protocol.ini
LG_BUFFERS   = 16
SM_BUFFERS   = 6
OUTSTANDING  = 32
HEURISTICS   = 0
BINDINGS     = MS$EWTRB
NI_IRQ = 5

I needed to alter the Pathworks STARTNET.BAT file to:
-	Replace the NETBIND line with c:\windows\net start
-	disable the redir.exe line

and rem out the NET START line WFWG put in autoexec.bat.

Then, after booting, I start the network, start PKTINT and then windows.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I got it to work by talking to 
Microsoft. I already had Pathworks and QVT running together when I added 
WFWG. I don't know how Netware fit's in, but I think if you add the 
DIS_PKT9.DOS line to your config.sys and the [PKTDRV] stuff to protocol.ini
it should work.
