I am not sure what you mean. A DJGPP-DOS TSR that can call routines from a
Windows DLL?? A networking-card specific device driver? More windows
programming?

I purchased a copy of Ndis3nt from Dan Lanciani. It comes with a DOS packet
TSR that makes makes Windoze network-card connections available in DOS. It
works great with Watt-32 (and PythonD :-) For $25 it sure beats all that
programming, don't you think?
