For Net WORK sure, but for net play the games want w95 for network
connectivity. Sorry for not being more specific, but what I meant was the
game may run under DOS, but only supports netplay under W95, and in most
cases doesn't run under any other OS option.

BTW after reading a lot of boxes for requirements I am a bit surprized at
how many still support DOS, albeit often in a crippled mode (sound,
network, etc.).
