TCP/IP basically postdates the MS-DOS era, in PC
terms, and it's Bloaty
McBloatface.
This must be a uSloth TCP/IP you are speaking of. There's the one from FTP
software which was based on the one done at MIT which was freeware. That one
was definitely DOS-era - it ran on DOS 1 and DOS 2. I think I have the MIT
version somewhere if you have a use for it.
But only someone who thinks that Emacs or Vi are
usable editors could
think this was an appealing virtualisation solution.
Epsilon! Even on Windows 95, it was a not-so-humungous 261KB. If Lugaru
can't cough up a DOS version, I'm pretty sure I still have my DOS Epsilon
distro disks somewhere. Of course, I would have to get a 5" floppy drive
working... :-)

Now that I _have_ heard of, yes. Never used it, though. Never really
was a programmer. The tiny bit of coding I did on the PC was in the
built-in editor of QuickBASIC 3 and later QB4.

I had to Google it -- never heard of it before. I am not an Emacs fan,
partly because of its horrendous UI and keystrokes, and I don't code,
least of all in C, so its feature list is not one calculated to appeal
to me, I'm afraid.

Well, yes, it is the MS one, because really it needs to talk over a
modern PCI NIC -- or emulation thereof -- to a host hypervisor
pretending to be an SMB server. It needs to talk to the MS networking
client, as that is the single most important use case. DOS is not must
use for accessing the internet today! I don't need finger or ftp or
telnet, I need a client that can authenticate and connect to a Samba
share, and basically nothing else.
