(By the way, Eric, a problem with my ISP destroyed your original message, could you send it to me in private?)
I don't know about SLIP, but PLIP does work for FreeDOS for a long time (unless something was broken in between).PS: I did not test IRCABI because the LSM tells that you would need
SLIP, while I have plain Ethernet / LAN. Do you think it would work
anyway?
The following article (a "recipe" for the "La Espiral" project, (Debian in Spanish)), in Spanish, describes how to connect a DOS machine to the internet via PLIP using FreeDOS and a machine with Linux.
http://laespiral.org/recetas/1-100/receta45.html
(using the crynwr PLIP driver, and even NCSA Telnet).
There are still many things that have changed in FreeDOS since then (23rd march 2001), in particular, the article mentions the missing EMM386 (that we now have), mentions xkeyb as keyboard driver. Otherwise ok.
I hope babelfish works well, it's a pretty lengthy article to be translated ;-)
(but can do it if popular request).
