SDL_net-devel-1.2.5-VC6.zip contains SDL_net.lib . . . I don't know if 
that will serve the same purpose as a .a but you should be able to link 
statically with that, right?  I use the VC6 binaries of SDL_image and 
SDL_ttf with Dev-C++ and they work fine, though I'm linking 
dynamically.  If the .lib doesn't work for static linking, why not link 
dynamically to the .dll and just distribute the dll with your program?
