I've never bothered with 1) or 3).
For 2), everything you need comes with arachne. On each PC running
straight DOS, simply load the ethernet packet driver like so:
"c:\> lh 3c509.com 96" and use telnet.exe (or telbin.exe?) without
any arguments on one PC as the ftp server and ftp.exe as the client
on the other PC. You have to edit config.tel on each machine with
an ip address for each PC, say 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, and
a netmask of 255.255.255.0. When you are done, "c:\>termin.com 96"
on each PC will unload the packet drivers.
There are other DOS TCP/IP programs you can play around with, but a
"ping" client would be handy to test your setup.
