Networking FreeDOS - 3Com
If your 3Com NIC is not supported by the Crynwr packet drivers, you
can find a driver here:
ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c90x/3c90x2.exe (*01)
This is EtherCD v5.4, disk 2 of 2 for the 3C90x adapter family. Disk 2
contains DOS ODI and NDIS drivers, packet driver, help files, and DOS
diagnostics. This is a self-extracting DOS executable. After executing
it, go into the PKTDVR subdirectory, and run 3C90XPD.COM. This should
auto-detect your NIC, which may take a while, and install the packet
driver in the first available interrupt vector, starting with 0x60.
The interrupt vector can also specified with /I; see /? for details.
You will want to add this to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Afterwards, you can configure and use any WatTCP application, such as
SSH (see: SSH2DOS) and Arachne. Use this in your WATTCP.CFG to
specify the interrupt vector:
pkt.vector = 0x60
(*01) internet: "3c90x2.exe"
