:/ I was born in the mid 90s. I never experienced any of this stuff when it was relevant. I've been trying on and off to get my FreeDOS computer networked ever since I first installed it in 2016. Only very recently did I actually put forth a bit of effort to see what I could do with the hardware interfaces available to me. SLIP is what I decided on. I'm pretty sure I know what software I need, and now it's time to actually run it, but I've never installed drivers on DOS before, and I don't know what's typical. "Use something else because surely you don't really need what you're asking for" isn't helpful. You don't know what I need. I don't "need" any of this. I don't need FreeDOS, I don't need that computer, and I don't need to access the Internet from it. But it's not about that, and it never was. I'm trying to challenge myself so that I can learn about things, and when it comes to learning about stuff from the 80s, Internet tutorials and wikis often lack what seem to be obvious details but are very important to someone who didn't live through it. When I hit a road block, I query the mailing list. You don't owe me help. I don't demand it, but if you're going to offer a comment, I would ask that it be a real answer or a clarifying question, not an assumption about what I need and an insult to my intelligence. If I knew how to use a SLIP driver, I wouldn't have asked, but since I don't know, I asked, and you take that as an indication that it's of no use to me. How does that help anyone?
