Only sort of - nobody ever got quite as far as exposing a raw
interface to the stack. What it does do is allow any application
to execute a command as if it were typed at thw 'net>' prompt.

That, along with the 'trf' command, which sends a connects to a
given port, sends a string and captures the data that comes back
to a file allows things like the fetching of web pages or finger
files by external programs.
