You can for example:
Give private IP addresses to the DOS boxes (and other computers that
you don't want on the net). Check the RFC (which I can't remember the
number right now) for the oficial private IP numbers (these numbers
shouldn't be routed in the Internet, so there is no risk of
conflicting with other existing ones).
RFC 1597. The reserved internal numbers are
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
(i.e. 1 class A address - the old ArpaNet address!!, 16 Class Bs, and
256 class Cs.)

The "typical user" couldn't spell C1 if you spotted him a letter and
offered to sell him the digit for a reasonable price.
