Just slightly silly.  Change the two instances of "3" in those commands
to "0x7e" or some other number in the range of 0x60 to 0x7f.  That is
the software interrupt number used to communicated to/from the packet
driver, and must be in the range of reserved software interrupts for
MS-DOS.  I'm surprised that neither program complained about the "3",
but it's not a good number.   I hope this fixes it for you; there's
no guarantee that only one thing is wrong, of course...
