You shouldn't need one for Arachne either, not if you are going in on a
dial-up. 

You may need the IP address of their DNS server. And you will need the
news server and mail server addresses. But you tend to need those for
netscape as well unless your ISP does the bit with a special CD that
does all the setup for you.

I use 4dos. NDOS is an ancient version of it. 

As for machines being too fast, there are ways, for anything slower
than about 300 MHZ.
