Thanks for the information.
We want to develop mechanical control system software that run on PC. We do
not want to use big OS with tons of unnecessary features. On PC only this
app will be used. Serial port(to communicate other devices) should be use
because other systems will be controlled via serial communication. On the
other hand internet connection will be good for the software's technical
support. This app should have graphical interface(like buttons).
This will be commerical software and apperiance is important.
I heard that there are some special applications exist like I mentioned for
DOS. As you say network details can be handled but I have no idea about if
graphical interface can be done.
regards
Ozer Ozkan

Hi, with FreeDOS, you can indeed use dialup if you have a
real serial port modem (as opposed to a Winmodem / softmodem,
for which you would need extra drivers which you will not
have for DOS). You can also use a LAN connection, crynwr has
many network card drivers for DOS. Your app can then use
wattcp (16bit) or watt32 (32bit, e.g. Watcom or GNU C DJGPP
compiler) network stack libraries - the kernel itself has no
network support, so the stack has to be linked to your
ssh dot exe or whatever you are developing (by the way, there
already is ssh2dos :-)).
Note that documentation for watt... is not free, while the library
itself is. However, the library comes with some sample code, so
you can use that for inspiration.
Eric
PS: Please give more details about what kind of application you
want to develop.
PPS: For dialup, use doschat or lsppp dial-in tools.
