Hi Bret, That was an interesting read.I suppose what confuses me is the idea that one cannot do much in dos on the internet. Perhaps you are speaking of direct connecting, although my understanding that the <spelling> Arachnid browser for dos supports JavaScript just fine, although I have not used it directly. Speaking personally I use DOS every day on the internet, but I am first using ssh telnet to a service which in turn provides various tools, lynx, links, and e-links for example on a shell structure...but my computer is still running dos to get there. What I find really amazing about the article is that someone took the time to make all that work.
Fortifies my desire to see sshdos updated with new dh keys smiles. Karen

For the wireless connection, Michael Brutman (maker of MTCP) has this page that discusses another option: http://www.brutman.com/Wireless_for_Classics/Wireless_for_Classics.html I haven't used on of these for DOS, but did use one (the one that Michael recommends) in another application where the device only had a wired Ethernet port and I needed it to be wireless since it was clear on the other side of the house from where the wireless router was. In the past, I know there were a few wireless NIC's that came with DOS drivers, but I haven't seen any new DOS-compatible wireless devices in a long time. Your best bet if you want to go wireless with DOS is to use the wired Ethernet port on the computer and hook it up to one of these "bridges". Of course, you still need a DOS driver for the wired Ethernet port and those can be difficult to find as well. Also, even if you get DOS to access the Internet, what you can actually do is pretty limited. Even just simple web browsing is difficult, since most modern web pages require JavaScript and DOS browsers don't support it. There are some things you can do with DOS (like automated file downloads and such), but overall it's pretty limited. ____________________________________________________________ Bad News About Metformin simplebloodsugarfix.com http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5c353aba592c53ab97d00st03vuc
