Yep. The package I like best is CUTCP from rutgers (formerly from Clarkson)
because it has a backgound ftp server that allows ftp access to the DOS 
machine even when you are telnetted out from the DOS machine. Other free
choices are NCSA Telnet and Wattcp. Archie should find any of these for you.
Don't be put off because CUTCP supports TN3270, it also does normal telnet
just fine.
