Hi Lester: It is possible to use a "shim" to wrap the NDIS2 driver you have to look like a DOS packet driver if that is what you want to do.
I went through this for another application and actually wrote down the procedure I used to get it to work. See http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/ct-user/2006-July/009394.html I have done this on two new computers without available packet drivers for a DOS networking application. This was done using MSDOS but should work fro FreeDOS. Let me know if you have any questions.
