AFAIK, there are _no_ standard Pc implementations of TCP/IP for DOS.
Windows has Winsock, which has defined a standard, but all DOS
implementations must have software tailored for the specific TCP/IP stack.

I wasnt even aware that stdwin has been ported to DOS!

It certainly should be possibly to build a smaller version of Python for
DOS. Alternatively, you could use one of the 32bit DOS extenders, to give
total access to the full machine memory.
