Where does one get NDIS drivers for 3com boards? I want to run PC-NFS with the NDIS driver instead of the one shipped with PC-NFS. I called Sun and 3com about this and each pointed me to the other.

Having spent several hours doing this last night, the answer is
more or less burned into my retina: Compuserve.
3Com has 1.1 NDIS drivers for its products in the Ask3Com forum.
Microsoft has a huge collection of 2.0 drivers in the Microsoft
Library. Even though they're called 2.0, they will work fine with the
PC-NFS NDIS code. (Note that for reliable coexistence with any other
protocol stack - a configuration which I'm required to say is "formally
unsupported" for SQA reasons - you'll need to get the 3.5a jumbo patch,
about which I'll say more in a subsequent posting.)
I don't know of any FTP sites offering these files. I'll ask on
Compuserve what the Microsoft position is. Of course, I can't offer
a Sun-supported FTP archive (due to our firewall policy); maybe someone
can volunteer a site.
Here's the relevant article from the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Title: Index of NDIS Compliant Device Drivers for DOS & OS/2 LM 2.00
Document Number: Q68118 Publ Date: 6-MAY-1991
Product Name: Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager
Product Version: 2.00
Operating System: OS/2
Summary:
Below is an index of all NDIS compliant network device drivers
available for both OS/2 LAN Manager and DOS LAN Manager version 2.00.
This index was last updated on April 3, 1991.
The driver dates may be older than ones received in your original OS/2
or DOS LAN Manager version 2.00 package. This is due to file date
touching for internal manufacturing control. You should only update
your drivers if the date found in the index is LATER than the date of
the driver received in your original DOS or OS/2 LAN Manager version
2.00 package.
Instructions on installing the distribution disks are included at
the end of this article.

To build the required disks, perform the following steps:
1. Download the referenced archived distribution file from the OnLine
Software/Data Library or CompuServe.
These files can be found in the Software/Data Library by searching
on the keyword, the Q number of this article, or the S number
listed above. These files were archived using the PKware
file-compression utility.
2. Copy the downloaded file to a freshly formatted floppy disk.
3. Unarchive the distribution file.
4. Execute the command file: A:\NDISCRT. The previous example assumes
that a floppy disk is in drive A. Both MS-DOS and OS/2 command
files are distributed.
5. Use the full-screen Setup program provided with DOS or OS/2 LAN
Manager to install the drivers contained in this distribution.
6. When the Setup program has completed, store this disk with the
original DOS or OS/2 LAN Manager disks to assure that these
drivers are available should you need to reinstall from disk.
