Now, that everything works (I have just succeeded to go online
with DOS from the client machine), I am much less eager to study 
ipchains, iptables or anything else. I totally rely on the "magic"
commandline provided by Steven. 

It is hard enough to get the PCMCIA ports on the old laptops running
with the ethernet and wifi cards. After days searching for drivers 
I think it could be useful to post not only modules for 2.2.26 and
2.4.31 kernels, but also DOS packet drivers for LAN networking. There
may be licensce problems, though. There also some good lists of 
supported cards with links to download sites, whereas DOS drivers 
are quite difficult to find. I will see whether I can put something 
in that direction to http://www.volny.cz/cce. 

Thanks four your guidance, Sindi, 

Christof
