TCP/IP  Without going commercial, there's the "Watcom TCP/IP" stack for DOS
        as I recall;  never actually tried it, but it's sitting on the file
        server at the University.

FTP     NCSA's ol' FTP utility for DOS - doesn't require a separate TCP/IP
        stack, just a packet driver.

FTP is *not* the way to go for backups - if you want a TCP/IP solution,
you'd be better off using NFS to mount the file system remotely;  I am not
aware of a freely available NFS client or server for DOS.

How are the two machines networked at the moment?  One assumes that DOS is
on the client, what about the server?  What sort of networking software
*and* hardware?
