Networking Linux with DOS - Suggested s/w?

I've been playing around with Linux for a week or so on a friend's 486,
and have been very impressed with it, and am considering installing it
on my system, as soon as I can afford the necessary hardware upgrades
(i.e buying a decent sized HDD :-) ).  At the same time, I also have
another PC which I'd like to network to the (future) Linux box.  ATM,
it's connected via a part time Intersvr link under DOS^ (yuk!).

Can anyone reccommend (preferably DOS based) s/w to network the DOS
machine with the Linux machine?  TCP/IP would be preferable, as this
will also allow the Linux machine to become a local router for Internet
destined TCP/IP traffic, as well as running the LAN itself.

The networking hardware will most likely be Ethernet or other suitable
networking cards.

... Nothing like a bit of typing practice on a Saturday night ;-)
