I have installed NetBSD 0.8 on my machine at home, and I have it networked
to another machine running DOS.  I have an NE2000 card in the NetBSD
box, and a 3Com 3C501 card in the DOS box.  I used to be able to get
the DOS box to telnet to the UNIX by using NCSA Telnet when I was running
386BSD, now that I have installed NetBSD it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Is there something different that is being done?  Does anybody know how
I would go about setting up the two systems to talk to each other again?

P.S. I have *NO* idea how to configure ethernet addresses/etc.  So this
     may be part of the problem, if anybody wants to send me a 1/2 way
     detailed explination.  I do have extensive knowledge of hardware
     and UNIX, just not UNIX networking.. ;)
