The answer is so obvious even I missed it the first time.  Load a slip or
ppp packet driver, but don't dial out and don't use remote url's.  

There are some at:

ftp://bingo2.micro.umn.edu/pub/pc/internet

The first one I would try is
ftp://bingo2.micro.umn.edu/pub/pc/internet/pktdrv/drivers/slip8250.com
