They work. Not too long ago you could even get the drivers from Intel
(who bought Xircom) and they were easy to find starting with
<http://www.xircom.com/>.

For the "something like PC/TCP", look for WATTCP, or for NCSA Telnet
-- I think I pulled the latter off a Simtel MS-DOS CD-ROM set from
ca. 1995. I think both support packet drivers, and the Xircom/Intel
driver set includes a packet driver. NCSA Telnet includes an FTP
client so you can use it to move files too.
