I have been happily (?) living in a PC world, with an ethernet card
installed which I use sometimes for PC-NFS (mounting remote file
systems) and sometimes for NCSA Telnet (to get telnet sessions) - this
is all for connections to Unix hosts, not in a network of PCs.  Now
I have been trying life under OS/2 1.1 I am having problems with it
all. Firstly I cannot use PC-NFS because the device drivers it needs
are not acceptable to OS/2, and secondly I cannot use NCSA Telnet
successfully in the DOS box because it dies after a few minutes if I
switch to another OS/2 task. Now, I am not asking this group to solve
the latter problem (tho if you happen to have experience with it...),
but I AM asking whether people can suggest sources of device drivers
and/or software which will exploit an ethernet card (mines a 3c501 for
what its worth) under OS/2.

This is probably a bozos question, but bear with me...
