I have a Zeos 486dx2-66 VLB with 16mg. I run wfw 3.11. I haven't used 
lantastic, but this machine has worked with wfw own networking, Netware Lite, 
and Netware 3.12....all without a hitch. I have a Diamond Viper card in there. 
TO try nailing down where the problem is, I woudl change to standard VGS, 
regardless of what video card is in there. I would also see if it boots 
without the network software. I don't have anything scsi, so I don't know 
what network/scsi issues there may be.
