Networking is a pain in DOS. Wired Network Interface Cards connected to motherboard through ISA or PCI interface will likely work. In most cases only drivers for the Novell stack (IPX/SPX, ODI ) and Microsoft TCP/IP , NDIS, MS-Client , SMB) seem to be available. Shim drivers exist to convert this to packet driver which most simple DOS networking programs understand. However I'm not sure if complete stacks have to be installed before the shims work or not (as neither the Novell nor MS stacks are freely distributable) Pure packet drivers for network cards seem hardly to exist. A 'universal UNDI packet driver' has existed but was a commercial product from a company named Emboot, no longer in existance. I'm currently experimenting with iPXE as a bootloader for starting FreeDOS installation. Already have it working, and it might support more network cards than normal dos packet drivers. > Bart and Veder have some network boot disks on that topic. and the 'http://reboot.pro' forums as well (formerly BootLand). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
