If it were me, I'd use BL2 and the samba package from
Slackware 7.1.  You can probably get samba going on 
BL3 (using the package from Slackware 4.0) but I expect 
that to be more difficult.

I'm guessing that your network card will work with the 
eepro100 module from Slackware 7.1 (modules directory).  
But the e100 module should work better than eepro100.  
You will find an e100 suitable for BL2/BL3 here:

Put the module in /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc and execute:
-----------          ---------------
insmod e100    or    insmod eepro100   (if you're using that)
-----------          ---------------

If that is successful, you will get a message about eth0.
Then do the following to bring up the network connection:
-----------------------------
ifconfig  eth0  192.168.1.111
-----------------------------
That number is just an example (use an appropriate number
for your network).

Cheers,
Steven
