I have a Toshiba 1100+ laptop too and after some hiccups was able to install ELKS last year on it. The laptop has only 720KB floppy drives though. I have not tried installing any TCP/IP ELKS work or any compilers, just the basic ELKS stuff.
The biggest problem is getting a 1.44MB floppy drive to write a 720KB floppy without making errors.
so i gave up after a while and ran kermit using MSDOS and used a null modem to connect to a Linux box.
Has anyone been able to get the TCP/IP stuff for ELKS working on any machine <286 ?

Yes, it worked about 4 years ago :D Over nullmodem that is.
