I and a friend both have two machines and both use Lantastic to network
them.  Lantastic alone is not enough.  Ideally, you should NOT load up
your network.  What you need to do is get the following:

Fine DOOMSER.ARJ (It has 90% of the drivers you will need).
it's startnet.bat loads the following:
LSL		you needs this for link support
ETHERSL		replace this file with the right one.    *
PDETHER		you need this one, too.
IPXODI		The IPX driver.

* The "Right" program is one that is specific to your card.  If you have a
   Novell Ne2000 compatible card, the driver will be NE2000.COM

One place to find drivers is Novell.com.  Another (Oddly) is Qdeck.com
