Hi Karen, you have MS DOS on your IBM Thinkpad 560 with 3c562 network card. You use SSH2DOS and plan to use any DOS web browser like Arachne, Lynx or similar. You need something which works with your screen reader software. Of course you could use Linux with Brltty which several mainstream distros support by default. For all browsers, it does not make a real difference whether you use MS DOS or use FreeDOS. However, FreeDOS has better support for modern hardware and is of course free software. Also, MS no longer supports DOS.
As you use a network card, browsers like Arachne will only need a packet driver. They use libraries like WATTCP / WATT32 and do their own DHCP setup as far as I remember so no separate PPP/IP package should be necessary. I do not know about ebrowse. Some Linux text oriented browsers like w3m, links or elinks may be available in DOS ports. Would be nice to have somebody else say a few words about DOS text web browsers in this thread who has experience with them. Regards, Eric PS: Brltty can also drive speech software, no Braille necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester Wave Report - Recovery time is now measured in hours and minutes not days.
