thanks for sharing your perspective.
I am using pure DOS, including the packet driver setup for my desktop
right now.
My hope, as You provide here, is a list of suitable network hardware, cards
or on board, that can manage the task.
If it is not freedos specific, meaning freedos can manage any such card,
that may be a solution, some of the 3com tools manage this.
Cheers,
Karen

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
