ooh. don't even ask me how I found this... It's a long search. I found
that it ran on 286 processors, so I searched alltheweb 286 pacwars,
found pacbet.zip buried in a zip file, well... eventually I found this
link: (Google search: pacbet.zip)
http://www.braunstein.de/ftp/netware/files/games/ or
ftp://ftp.rz.fh-hannover.de/pandora/files/games/ which has pacbet.zip
(IPX) and pacwar15.zip (status???) and some other long lost netgames.

Good luck and happy gaming to you, if you can get them to work... You
may wish to look into a slow program like
http://www.simtel.net/product.php%5Bid%5D16525%5Bsekid%5D0%5BSiteID%5Dsimtel.net
in order to actually play the game on newer hardware.
