Bill, I too have been trying to get Digitalk Smalltalk V/286 to
run on my AT&T PC 6300 Plus.  I recently learned that AT&T has
a new NETBIOS chip (Version 3.0) which is supposed to support
"protected mode" operation.  The chip costs $75, but my purchase
order has not yet been processed, so I cannot report whether it
solves the problem.

If it works, I will post an advisory to that effect.
