Does that DOS computer's NIC have a DOS packet driver ?
If so.....
then there's no reason why Arachne can't use your broardband modem.
Load the DOS packet driver for the NIC
and then use these settings for Arachne.....
--- in arachne.cfg ---
Connection READY
[tcp/ip]
IP_Address WATTCP
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer
AltNameServer
Gateway 0.0.0.0
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 0.0.0.0
TCPconfig PPPTCP.CFG
--- in ppptcp.cfg ---
my_ip=dhcp
sockdelay=60
hostname=arachne
mss=1600

By 'HTMLS' I assume you are meaning HTTPS
And by 'Java' I assume you are meaning java script, not java applets.
And while it is true that Arachne can't do those things...
you do not need to resort to WinCrap for them either.
The DOS build of Lynx v2.8.5.1 can do HTTPS
http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/lynx2.8.5rel.1-DOSc.zip
And for Java Script, Java applets & HTTPS... Linux SeaMonkey
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/slackware/slackware-12.2-iso/
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.0.2&os=linux
Grab all of the above and get them running.
But, step 1 is.......
