Hi Lester:

It is possible to use a "shim" to wrap the NDIS2 driver you have to
look like a DOS packet driver if that is what you want to do.

I went through this for another application and actually wrote down
the procedure I used to get it to work.  See

http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/ct-user/2006-July/009394.html

I have done this on two new computers without available packet
drivers for a DOS networking application.  This was done using
MSDOS but should work fro FreeDOS.

Let me know if you have any questions.
