Licensing is likely a can of worms in that ZIP of mine. Hence my offer to withdraw that zip if anyone happens to object.
The MS Network client (containing a flock of binaries) has some license of its own, I'm almost sure I am not allowed to re-distribute this. The config files for the MS Network client borrow heavily from the NetBootDisk.com project. Then there's the mTCP package. And the dis_pkt.com (v11). And probably some binaries coming from FreeDOS. The top-level README contains a list of URLs to where I got all the bits and pieces (at least I'm trying to give credit where credit is due). I'm not all that excited about the zip I have created. It's very bare bones, and it contains HW support for just one specific NIC (a family of Intel PRO 1000 within some timespan of their evolution). It is meant to be simple and to show the very basics. I meant this as a starting point.
