No quite right. Telepath gives you an ODI-compliant MLID driver for MSDOS
(barf) you use instead of the Ethernet MLID supported by the Ethernet
card vendors. So buy an ODI compliant TCP/IP stack (like LAN Workplace
from Novell) or use PKTODI and take Trumpet Winsock on the packet
shim.

This is an example configuration of your ODI stack if you use LAN
Wuergplace:

LSL
PPPODI <--- Telepath
TELEPATH <--- Menu interface, see TELEPATH /? for cmd line options
TCPIP <--- TCP/IP stack from LWP
IPXODI
NETX or VLM

Some of the drivers may be loaded into high memory. Oh gosh, I *hate*
DOS...

If you use Win95, define a remote connection and enable IP and IPX
(not NETBEUI). On the PortMaster side do "enable PAP".
