	I have installed DPCE (PC emulator) vers 3.4 on a 3500 under SR 10.2.
I would like to connect that PC environment to the Novell Netware environment
that supports students in my course.  The distribution notes suggest

	a) that a separate Ethernet board is needed
	b) that Netware is, indeed, supported.

No details given on how to connect DPCE to the Netware environment.

	I installed a WD8003 EN board configured to avoid I/O and IRQ addresses 
already in use.  The 3500 boots up and runs fine; DPCE runs fine.  I copied
over the packet-driver versions of the Netware drivers we use elsewhere on real
PCs.  The low-level driver, WD8003.COM, runs OK but tells me it can't find
the EN board at the I/O address 280h (specified in the command line); I have
triple-checked the board to be sure it's configured correctly.  Without the 
driver, the other Netware routines fail.

	Has anyone worked with DPCE in a Netware environment?  Are there any
"tricks" to getting a standard PCXT-bus EN card to interact with the DPCE
environment?  Or with the 3500 in general?

	Thanks for any advice.
