My guess is that you WILL need to find a packet driver that works.
Try:

(make it into ONE line) There are several drivers there to try.

I don't know about the dosemu that you are using, but I am able to
run dosemu successfully (partially, anyway) in Slackware (7).
One of the problems may be that you might need to compile it for
your specific system, or get a pre-compiled binary for your exact system.
Another hassle, as it is with me, is that dosemu is an emulation of
a DOS system, and you will need to specifically enable access to the
relative hardware if you are ever going to try to run Arachne on the web.
This is something that I have failed in so far.
You could also try other emulators, such as bochs, qemu and so on.
