MS-DOS Kermit, current version 3.15:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html
includes a TCP/IP stack, containing not only TCP and IP, but also Telnet,
Bootp, and DHCP clients. You must run this stack over a Packet Driver, an
ODI Driver, or an NDIS driver. It is up to the maker of the cable modem to
supply one of these.
For details, read NETWORKS\SETUP.DOC in the Kermit directory, after
unzipping it.
