Recently I have been able to pick up 2 Ethernet cards (for an IBM PC).

Western Digital WD8003E
3COM Etherlink I

I am considering using a networking package called Lantastic (a low-cost
peer-peer networking package).  I've heard conflicting reports on whether
this 3COM card will work properly.  I have got a NetBIOS driver for the
WD8003E card (written by WD) but have no such thing for the 3COM.

My questions are:

1.  Exactly which driver needs to be used for the WD8003E.

2.  Is there a 3COM NetBIOS driver available?  

3.  Which drivers are supplied with the AI (Adaptor-Independent) version
    of Lantastic?

4.  Since these drivers are usually publicly available, does anyone know
    of an FTP site(or UUENCODE them to me) for such drivers.

Thanks in advance,
Richard.
