No, Caldera eServer 2.3 is definately not based upon Debian :)

At a CLI (as root) type in "coastool" minus the quotes and take a look
around. I haven't used Caldera in a while now so the _exact_ steps to
accomplish what you want after this this escape me at the moment, but
you are looking for the kernel modules area first (to make sure module
is loaded for NIC) and then the network interface properties section.
IIRC it was fairly straight forward after that.
You might want to look at the link in my signature for specific help
with Caldera products...

Boot from a DOS floppy and look on the floppy that came with your NIC
for the tool.
