msdos and drdos and freedos remain viable with packages like commo as terminals to log into remote resources and run linux/unix commands on those remote systems. I know people who forgot how to configure ethernet cards in msdos, but maybe using a terminal program like kermit would access those ethernet cards. I doubt dos has necessary support to get wi-fi connections running.
