I understand this. I guess my question was really: where can I get a
packet driver that will communicate over my phone line instead of a
typical NIC?

Afaik, TCP/IP interfaces to a packet driver, which then works directly
with the NIC. It shouldn't matter over which medium you're ultimately
communicating, as long as it presents the packet interface which
TCP/IP expects.

Even if I did, that doesn't answer my question. Even if I get
connected
to dial-up, will TCP/IP applications still work, or will they complain
about drivers since they are trying to access a NIC?

I have a 1998 Sony Vaio running FreeDOS. This model did not include

I've
been going through the networking guide referred to by Rugxulo, and
I
got down to running NICSCAN.EXE only to realize *oops!* this
computer
doesn't even have an ethernet card.
Supposing I could find a working phone line and dial-up service to
connect the modem to, is there hope of using TCP/IP applications
like
wget over it using the software available to me?
