Connecting to the Internet can be complicated if the Ethernet chip is not
supported by the driver.
This is a problem with many of the newer chips with DOS.
Many Web designers make their sites overcomplicated, requiring great gymnastics
to navigate, creating great difficulties for Unix-type OSes and hopeless for
DOS.
