There are a few. Depends on what you mean by native. Packet drivers for several network cards of the era are available, as well the guy who made Trumpet Winsock back in the Windows 3 days also made a socket library you
could use. The documentation is pretty good if you know a little assembly.
People seem to like mTCP as well.

That said DOS in general never came with that functionality so you'd be expecting a very limited group to actually configure everything to use what
you wrote (and nobody on Windows without VirtualBox).

.... A social life? Where can I download that!?
