     @cr1901 @gsuberland There were IP stacks for plain DOS too.

     @marshray @cr1901 @gsuberland did Spider ever release a TCP/IP stack before Microsoft acquired them and put it into Windows NT 3.1 ?

     @gsuberland Trumpet Winsock is magic. DOS TSR that somehow hooks into 3.1 to provide a stack. I have to see if I can find my copy. I think the author's dead, so if I want to know how it works, I have to RE it :(...
