It needs doing but you need to be very very careful and I don't think this is a good idea to merge untested because if you misprogram the SLIC you can blow the card up, permanently,magic smoke gone, dead, defunct.
It's one card where we really really don't want to make untested changes.
That said if you've got an old box with an ISA slot somewhere, and a postal address you can have the old ISA card that Quicknet provided for testing - contact me off list if you want it.
