On plain DOS or on Windows? If the latter, then you don't have to do anything, except to take care to pass the \\host\share\file UNC to the functions of Int 21h, and Windows will do the rest. The problem is that some of the library functions do destructive things to such UNCs, but that's all you need to take care of to get the UNCs supported. If you want to support UNCs on DOS, then mapping to /dev/net/whatever will not really help, since some machinery needs to communicate to the network redirector so that it understands the /dev/net/ stuff.
