Unix 386 3.2, DOS, & TCP/IP

We're getting ready to develop some s/w for a client using a mix
of PC's, Novell Netware on Lattisnet, and a NCR Tower running Unix
r2 with TCP/IP.
To simulate this enviroment (hah) we're putting the programmers on PC's
connected via thin ethernet to a 386 running *nix 386. Now the question
comes as to which TCP/IP and which TELNET and which RLOGIN (I am using
this terms right?)
Anyways, here's the real questions:
For the PC, we'll be using DOS 3.3 and/or Windows/286
with Western Digital WD8003E cards. What software should be
used? (It'd be nice if it's PD)
For the Unix box, we've got an idle (hah) 386-25 with
SCO Xenix 2.3.2. We can also use AT&T Unix V/386 3.2, if
thats better. Again with the WD8003E and again which
software package should we buy? (There MUST be a PD TCP/IP
for this OS somewhere)
For communicating (at the application level) between
host and remote, what libraries exist for sending messages?
Or should a RFS pipe/file message system be used? Is this
where STREAMS comes in?
Is the WD8003E card going to drag the 386 way down? Can
the card even be used in the server?
Thanks much.
