We use Xenix Net with Excelan hardware between a 286 and a 386.  It works as
advertised, but doesn't break LAN performance records.  We find it a bit shaky
when one machine shuts down but that could easily be fixed in the latest
release.  I would suggest you look into NFS though, if I understand correctly
it's much more versatile.
