Well, any half-decent network card will come with a TCP/IP packet driver 
for DOS. If you're wanting to use TCP/IP under Windows 3.1, the most 
popular package is Trumpet Winsock, which you should be able to find on 
just about any bbs, or archie (I think??) There is also a Microsoft 
TCP/IP 32 - which is a 32-bit TCP/IP implementation for Windows for 
Workgroups.

If you're looking at using the Linux box as a fileserver, you could try 
setting up NFS on it, and using a shareware NFS client on your DOS 
machines called XFS - which you can find on archie.

As for telnet and ftp - the NCSA suite is readily available and functional.
