Hi,
FreeDOS can be used to access a network if your network card has a DOS
driver. Those are usually provided by the manufacturer of said card.
You'll probably want a "packet driver", but I think someone who has more
experience with networking under DOS would be able to give you better
info. I remember quitting the entire ordeal because I had wget and other
network tools crash all the time, and they exhibited some seriously
jarring bugs like resolving domains that are supposed to be aliases, and
not resolvable by any DNS. But that was when I was still using
JEMMEX/JEMM386 so it's probably my fault.
Best regards,
Michał

Hi folks,
After having been on this list for years, although I not running
freedos, I am considering a machine using the system alone.
That machine would be a laptop, likely a p3 much as my desktops are,
if unwise.
My main serious concern is how freedos would access the Internet from
such a machine.
Its been a long time, but previously only a handful of cards could
use Freedos and network, has this changed?
If so, what laptop specific hardware can freedos access for accessing
the Internet?
Thanks,
Karen
