We have WD8003e boards - and NSCA Telnet runs just fine along
with PCI.  We boot on a floppy, load PCI and run NSCA Telnet from
the C: drive which is actually on the unix file system running PCI.

The only problem that I have - is that function keys aren't correctly
working under telnet - but I assume that is simply handled in the
remapping (and I haven't had time to look into it)..
