I have 3 pc's, SCO and FreeBSD all on the same network.  
PC1 is WFWG 486-66 with a NE2000 close UTP
PC2 is my laptop running WFWG with pcmcia network card
PC3 is DOS machine using packet drivers
SCO box is old 386 with 3c501 10base2
Freebsd is 486 with NE2000 close UTP

PC1 and PC2 use WFWG TCP/IP
PC3 uses NCSA TCPIP

all work fine.  Telnet,ftp etc.  I have not tried using
nfs to access the pc disk yet.
