A more reliable way to recover is to flag net$os.exe sharable, and copy it to
a floppy (you do have a 3 1/2 on the server, I hope). 

Now econfig your server, and try out the packet driver IPX.COM.  If it
works, great.

If it doesn't, and you can verify the correct operation of the packet driver
with Clarkson's CUTCP, or PCIP, or KA9Q, then you can recover in the
following manner:

1.	Boot the server with DOS
2.	Put in your backup copy of net$os.exe
3.	Start up the server
4.	Mark net$os.exe sharable, and copy it to the server's hard disk
5.	Mark net$os.exe nonsharable
6.	Down the server
7.	Remove the floppies, and reboot

The biggest problem to watch out for with the packet drivers is high memory
conflicts between various video boards (especially VGA and EGA) and
on-board Ethernet card memory.
