AFAIK, anything a linux app can get at, a wine app can get at.
I can use "wine --winver nt40 --dll msvcrt=n netscape" to browse my own
apache default web page, or similarly use telnet.exe, tracert.exe,
ftp.exe from one box in my LAN to the other.  Beats me why I would want
to.  Linux has better clients for these services, but I can use the
windose ones if I like.

As far as DUN and RAS, TAPI and all that junk, if you can figure out
what it is supposed to do, you are welcome to code up a patch and offer
it to wine-patches.
