No need for any network configuration - the DOS PC only needs to have some kind of Ethernet adapter (physical or emulated, for example through PLIP) and a suitable packet driver.

EtherDFS is an 'installable filesystem' TSR for DOS. It maps a drive from a remote computer (typically Linux-based) to a local drive letter, using raw ethernet frames to communicate.

The LanChat Messenger is a series of batch files that interatct together to form a system in which you can communicate with other machines on your network as long as the machine can map a network drive, execute batch files, and change files and folders. The Lanchat Messenger was inspired from another work of messaging, it was extremely simple and easy to use. My messenger works towards the same goals with the advantage of customizable features and adaptable windows.
