I installed a Realtek RTL 8139 network card, so I have been using lsl, rtsodi, ipxodi without installing the network card driver.
Saw an article:
My disk-based DOS station's network card is a Realtek RTL 8139 network card. Is there any difference in the installation and configuration of MSClient and ICADOS32 compared to the NE2000 compatible series introduced in this article? If there is, how should it be handled?
Answer: For the installation and configuration method of ICADOS32, it is the same for any network card; but for MSClient, some corresponding modifications must be made (the following actual operations are not case-sensitive). The specific steps are as follows:
(1) First, use the method introduced in the previous text to install and configure MSClient, regardless of the network card for the time being.
(2) Then copy the Rtsnd.dos file from the driver disk of this RTL8139 network card to the C:\NET directory of the disk-based DOS station.
(3) Modify the C:\NET\system.ini file, change netcard=ne2000.dos under the section to netcard=rtsnd.dos.
(4) Modify the C:\NET\protocol.ini file, change DriverName=MS2000$ under the section to DriverName=RTSND$.
(5) Finally, restart the disk-based DOS workstation.
