It was a straightforward hack just to be able to telnet to our IBM, not a decent implementation. I've got telnet (IBM's tn3270) and ftp running over a 3C501 card. One at a time, of course, each program re-implementing all the layers. But at least it runs as a normal OS/2 task, therefore you can switch away into something else without the danger of timing out as there would be in the DOS box. I have heard that IBM is working on a sort of layered TCP/IP with TSR kernels. That may be a more interesting starting point for a proper implementation, something in line with the LAN manager.
