Nope!  Lantastic is proprietary stuff.  I know of some folks who have run the
dos version of it on their OS/2 box,  but I don't think I'd care to try that.
The sorts of networking supported by "connect" are both TCP/IP stuff and SMB
stuff (what windoze uses).  You can get some TCP/IP support under dos with the 
NCSA telnet package (let me know if you need that pkg),  which includes an ftp 
client.
