Although I know Microsoft offered some kind of "Workgroup Add-On
Pack" for DOS 6.x, in general I don't think DOS and networking go
together very well.
This is, however, one of my favourite uses for the parallel-port
Zip drive. I have copied the OSR2 CD to a zip disk, and have a DOS
6.22 boot diskette with the Zip drivers loaded....
