Re: [Freedos-user] a creative situation?
Hi, I may misspell this, but when I require the java script friendly edition of links, I TELNET via ssh telnet in dos to a shell service called shellworld. www.shellworld.net This service itself is rooted in spelling freebs. Sorry its not in front of me. Shellworld also keeps elinks up to date as well as lynx. I believe when I was asking in early 2010, I was seeking cards likely for both my desktop and laptop, and both now found. I have a fine dsl arrangement in dos, and will play around with using links in this setting, since someone kindly sent me a copy. I likewise do not anticipate any laptop issues ow.

Re: [Freedos-user] a creative situation?
I should add one more point. I cannot say if the graphical edition of links, called glinks works in dos, but it does exist. I have no first hand experience with if it functions say with the dos gui or not. As shared my java script work with links is at a service that uses a different operating system.

Re: [Freedos-user] a creative situation?
Hi Karen, you have MS DOS on your IBM Thinkpad 560 with 3c562 network card. You use SSH2DOS and plan to use any DOS web browser like Arachne, Lynx or similar. You need something which works with your screen reader software. Of course you could use Linux with Brltty which several mainstream distros support by default. For all browsers, it does not make a real difference whether you use MS DOS or use FreeDOS. However, FreeDOS has better support for modern hardware and is of course free software. Also, MS no longer supports DOS. As you use a network card, browsers like Arachne will only need a packet driver. They use libraries like WATTCP / WATT32 and do their own DHCP setup as far as I remember so no separate PPP/IP package should be necessary. I do not know about ebrowse. Some Linux text oriented browsers like w3m, links or elinks may be available in DOS ports. Would be nice to have somebody else say a few words about DOS text web browsers in this thread who has experience with them. Regards, Eric PS: Brltty can also drive speech software, no Braille necessary. -- Forrester Wave Report - Recovery time is now measured in hours and minutes not days.

Re: [Freedos-user] a creative situation?
I agree, someone who can speak to dos browsers please? most of the other programs I use, say for word processing, and the like do not run in Linux, otherwise I would not have asked my specific question. Again, the goal is to clear the permissions process one goes through when connecting via Ethernet or wireless to a public Internet setup. much of this post is not on point, but my original question is here I am sure.

Re: [Freedos-user] a creative situation?
Now that is a fine suggestion. I use links as well, but on a shell service which is has compiled it with spider monkey to increase the java script friendly nature. going to google for it too, but if you can point me to a complete packaging of links for dos I would be thrilled. that should do the trick nicely I think. thanks again, Karen On Mon, 11 Apr 2011, Marcos Favero Florence de Barros wrote: (from Eric:) Would be nice to have somebody else say a few words about DOS text web browsers in this thread who has experience with them.

[Freedos-user] a creative situation?
Or perhaps not depending on how often others deal with this. Will try to ask the question clearly enough. When I travel I use an IBM thinkpad 560, in fact I asked about things here before it was all configured. Recently I upgraded my modem / Ethernet card to a 3c562. My intention is to use the same setup I use on my desktop for Ethernet work, fining the drivers was no issue, and the ssh2021b package will more than work at least allowing me to TELNET to my shell service. I am presently running dos 6.22 on this laptop, but will switch to freedos if it solves the situation I am about to describe. When one is traveling one must agree to the terms of service involved in using say a hotel's Ethernet setup. to do this, one needs a browser package etc. I know there is a solution for this, aside from Arachnid, there should be one for lynx, that gives you the functional browser for networking capabilities. Referenced on the pages of doslynx, are different dos packages that give you what you need, I believe? basically ppp/ip, with a very text focused browser. Arachnid is out for me, will not work with a screen reading package. However are ther other options giving you a small simple ppp/ip package with a dos browser for this goal? anyone tried ebrowse for example? I think the more current editions are Linux focused, but there was a dos one at one time. If I have failed to ask the question clearly enough, let me know. thanks, Karen -- Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough. An authentic gaming smartphone on the nation's most reliable network.
