I have tried the FTP PC/TCP (v2.02) software for the 3c505 on our Sniffer, 
and it appears to work fine.  From Network General's tech notes (#1 & #4), 
I found the settings for the ethernet card:
    I/O address 0300-0307
    IRQ 11
    DMA channel 6
and configured the FTP software appropriately.  I used a different 
autoexec.bat & config.sys than when I run the Sniffer software - I haven't 
tried to create an environment in which I can run either.

Network General Tech Note #1 describes how to configure Wollongong's 
WIN/PC TCP/IP software for the Sniffer ethernet card, so other software 
will probably run as well - you might even find some PD software (note 
that both FTP & Wollongong are commercial products).
