I recently installed DOOM on some PC's using the Western Digital 8003e networking
cards with the drivers originally packaged with DOOMSER.ARJ (the functional but
dog slow networking drivers) and I had no problems getting it to network
whatsoever.  Even though I do not load any TCP/IP drivers (though the machines
are still physically networked) the machines will occasionally pause for a second
or two, so don't be surprised!
