Good luck! It's a tough thing to get working, so I hate to downplay your hopes, but you may want to be a bit less optimistic. :-( > I don't know much about DOS, so I would > like some super-basic instructions on how to set it up.

Thanks in advance, In bare DOS, try running NICSCAN.EXE (from below): http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm Otherwise, I suppose other people can help more. All I can suggest (for "quick 'n easy" DOS-based 'Net use) is based upon emulators, e.g. VirtualBox + PCNTPK or SwsVpkt via WinXP. So, if you're really impatient, at least that will give you some idea of how things work. (P.S. Try the Dillo port, it's cool.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
