Hi again, This information is fantablus, but let me clear something up below...
>> it is indeed a 560 series 2640-foe which seems to mean just a 560, there >> is no additional letter given. oops? correction. its a f0e, which is apparently of little importance since these units are basically the same with the letter designations indicating certain some times windows related things. > Personally I'd go for the D-Link DFE-670TXD (ethernet adapter) which > is available at Ebay at the moment and an Orinoco Gold Card (wifi > adapter) which I didn't try yet, but which is supposed to work with > DOS.

Fantastic! will go a hunting. > > Afterwards you have to install the networking application you need. > For instance, you can do your email with Pegasus and your websurfing > with Arachne. Actually...no I cannot. I am not sure about Pegasus, never needed to try it. However Arachne is very un-speech friendly. I experience vision loss so use a screen reader. The way Arachnid writes makes it impossible to use with adaptive software, or it was so thelast time I checked. This should not matter though. there is a dos package called wattcp, which I feel very good about since it is packaged using Lynx the universally speech friendly browser. As long as the networking program I use has telnet I will still be fine. Most of my material is at a shell service provider, shshellworld. www.shellworld.net there I have access to several speech friendly browsers, pine alpine and elm for e-mail, and tons of other stuff. On this computer which is running ms dos 7.1, I usenettamer solely for its telnet abilities. > > Of course choosing DOS as a platform for your daily work means to > choose the way DOS works.

On the other hand, small is beautiful. ;-) > Lol, let's say I like my work as wysiwyg-less as I can get grin. I have used dos daily for computing or almost daily since 1988. I love telling windows users that things like freedos and Linux give you the choice of a non-windows lifestyle. I actually now rather a few dos users who do not experience vision loss, and remain hopeful that someone will create an edition of Arachnid that is speech friendly. still I can continue dancing this way it seems. thanks again, Karen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
