No; not usually.  Some of the DOS-based 'Net software
(such as Net-Tamer) sets up its own internal TCP/IP
stack when the program loads...so it's totally self-
contained.

Other such DOS programs require the TCP/IP stack to be
loaded separately as a TSR, but include it as part of
the distribution package.

WebSpyder is specifically designed to be used with
DR-DOS 7.xx -- which =does= have built-in networking
facilities.
