Lacking any packet driver or suitable software (or knowledge to configure it anyways!), I'm only able to look at DOSUTILS.

Quite compact!! With UPX, I can shrink SELECT (by far the biggest in size) to only 12k. Not bad, not bad at all.
SELECT is good for programs that don't handle wildcards (BEFI) or LFNs (e.g. MTFI/8086) by default. The timeout feature is nice.
RPN (< 8k UPX'd) is interesting to me (esp. compared to Befunge), but it has no XOR. No biggie though (can't see why I'd need it although CMD's "set /a" supposedly supports it). Ah, /F is useful (change output format). 
PIPESET is cool too, but there are probably other ways of doing that (Rexx, FreeCOM's "set /e", xset) although I admit to never using those much (so far).
Haven't looked too closely at FAM (AWK-ish???) or TR, but they could be useful. To be honest, I never use *nix tr, it always seems easier to use sed. (Not really familiar with AWK yet, but it's pretty powerful and easy.)
The obvious advantages to these tools are the small size and /Evar (set environment variable directly) or fallback /Svar (e.g. NTVDM).
P.S. Somewhat odd choice of license (EUPL), but Wikipedia says it's compatible with GPL2 (and OSI approved it), so I've got no complaints.
