Not that I know of, but there are two "universal" DOS NDIS drivers
which work with keeppxe.  One is 3com's undis3c.dos available at:

  http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/mba.htm

The other is Intel's ndis.dos (or undis.dos, depending) and is a
little harder to find...  It ships with Intel's PXE PDK, which you can
find by doing a search on Intel's site.

So, you can use the MSCLIENT TCP/IP stack with one of these drivers.
This is what I did for my boot disk (see
<http://unattended.sourceforge.net/>), and it works great with
PXELINUX (or ISOLINUX) and memdisk.

Or you can use a generic "NDIS to packet driver" shim, which should
let you use these NDIS drivers with wattcp.  I believe such a shim
exists, but I do not remember where to get it.
