Interesting :-) DOS is single tasking, so you cannot easily run a telnet or ssh server and let that start a login shell such as command.com from there. However, you can use network stacks as wattcp (for 32bit apps in dos: watt32) to access the network... For example there are ssh2dos and smbclient clients for ssh and samba. There are also DOS http servers such as Ez-Nos or Sioux. www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/ Apparently wattcp has a telnetd as one of the sample apps? Maybe: www.umich.edu/~archive/msdos/communications/wattcp/ (could somebody mirror this before it turns into dust? ;-)) More watt32 DOS network apps / servers: www.bgnett.no/~giva/ Many mixed links: www.freedos.org/freedos/news/technote/157.html www.freedos.org/freedos/links/ - for example has this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS I hope you can get a telnet server working with all those :-) Please let me know when you have news about the project.
