The Clarkson drivers are a MAC-layer (raw Ethernet frame level) interface,
and have nothing to do with PC-NFS's emulation of 4bsd sockets on DOS.
Yes, you can run one on the other, but if the number of open sockets
isn't documented as being configurable, it is presumably a table size
compiled into PC-NFS.  PC/TCP supports up to 20 sockets (you have to
close your stdio handles to get this many), I believe WIN/PC is also
configurable, I don't know about BWTCP.
