WATTCP for DOS - anyone gone there?

[msc0tt]

OK, set the time machine to 1990 or so.....

I have a legacy DOS application that runs on a special purpose XT-class computer with 1MB RAM. I'm tasked with enhancing this app (I have the C source) to deliver its data via ethernet/TCPIP. Fortunately, this device has a standard ISA slot, so installing a NIC will be trivial. One problem - IT'S DOS! ;-{)
Getting a packet driver for an old NE1000 NIC won't be a problem. After some searching, I've located WATTCP which looks close, but I can't find any sample source code that uses it. From the descriptions I've read, WATTCP 'is' the stack and necessary TCP/IP functions -right??
Any advice/tips/direction is greatly appreciated!

-with thanks,
Mike

Doing a Google search for "wattcp dos examples" came back with 652 pages. There seems to be some examples in there. Here's a simple email gateway in C using WATTCP...

My recommendation would be to take that DOS application and rewrite it into something a little more modern.

Hope this helps.
