I have never been online with present computer using FreeDOS, haven't tried any other DOS; now online with NetBSD. Here is what NetBSD says about my Ethernet, from /var/run/dmesg.boot : re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: RealTek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (rev. 0x06) re0: interrupting at msix2 vec 0 re0: Ethernet address d4:3d:7e:97:17:e2 re0: using 256 tx descriptors So I use FreeDOS very infrequently. I wonder if there is any way I could go online with FreeDOS using PXE boot. I would be very limited in what I could do online with FreeDOS, but it would be nice to prove it can be done. Tom
