If Internet is only issue here, why bother to connect to it by using DOS
card instead of Macs TCP/IP control panel and Open Transport? Internet is,
by definition, multiplatform, so there should not be a problem connecting
Mac in PC-only LAN to Internet. Basically, you need to type correct
addresess in TCP/IP control panel, maybe some data in Internet Config
(Internet control panel in Mac OS 8.5), and you are there, you don't need
DOS card to connect to Internet.
