You can use Internet Extender v1.0b http://www-acc.scu.edu/~jsarich/ieweb/main.htm Freeware DOS Gateway router which allows networked computers to access the Internet (via a modem or network card) Works very well, when I use my regular DOS machine as a router for a Win9x/Linux machine.

Most Ethernet cards (even PCI ones) come with DOS packet drivers (I regularly use Netgear FA310TX and Linksys LNE100TX PCI cards and these work fine in DOS So check the manufacturer's website for these cards.

If the manufacturer doesn't have a packetdriver, and if it is not compatible to some pseudostandards (eg. ne2000) than things look grim. A few months ago I bought a cheap surecom 10/100 MBit card, and it came with a packetdriver. (as all other cards I have had) Maybe you can change it to another NIC.

Source code is available. That source code is indeed available. However, you also need a seperate library that costs something like 10 or 15 USD (it's been a while since I checked) to compile it on your own. As I've mentioned earlier I use a dedicated machine for this purpose. Dedicated in this case means a spare P166MMX but it should work well on much slower machines (I've used it on a 486DX2-80). Additionally it has one advantage over Linux (except starting faster) and that is that it can all fit in 1MB of RAM (well even less most likely). //Bernie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 12:58:16 -0500 From: "L.D.

Being alone here, I've almost felt outnumbered at times! Sounds like you have more legacy systems than *I* do. My problem is lack of a spare monitor, and lack of a place to set up another box in my "office" space ... the workshop is in the kitchen as it is. That's not an inconvenience, actually, as it allows me to honestly say I spend time "in the kitchen" just like any "normal" woman. };> Amid all the hardware you have, you wouldn't happen to have any LAN stuff you don't need, would you?? I really do need to figure out how to set up here so at least two computers can be accessing the cable at the same time... and I refuse to even consider "Windoze Networking." Anyway, hang on and hang in and welcome to the world of legacy mania. l.d. ==== On Mon, 28 May 2001 03:51:50 +0100, Laurie L Proud wrote: > Hello Everyone on the List, > I have been using Arachne for a few weeks now.

And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their command pathways?" [Geordi] "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology." [Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen.] [Riker looks puzzled.] "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?" [Data turns to answer.] "Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason called'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate." [Picard] "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?" [Data] "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken over and none will be available for their normal operational functions." [Picard] "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric shape' idea." . . 15 Minutes Later . . . [Data] "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'." [Geordi] "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase." [Picard] "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if there is something we have missed." [Data] "Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards. - - Clarence Verge - -- - - Help stamp out FATWARE.

Look at the response I got from the website designer [to the message I'd Bcc'd to the list]. l.d. - ----- Forwarded message begin ----- From: "Scott Hache" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Sir or Madam, I would have to agree with you on the spam issue, I we have recently assembled a Anti-Spam task force on our end to help prevent UCE/SPAM. I am well aware of the laws of the Internet and what is and what is not Spam. Platinum Designs does not endorse or promote the usage of any MLM website. If its legal I will design it, I cannot not turn away potential customers. I will however enforce the law. If a customer misuses our services we will act accordingly. I have registered a complaint against the accused and make sure they are delt with immediately. I apologize for any inconvenience my customer may have caused you, please keep me posted if you receive any messages from these people again.

MLM may not be illegal in Canada, but it is a boundary free internet these days ... If you're not part of "the whole package," you might want to stop designing websites for "organizations" like homebizla.com Spammers digust me, if for no other reason that they think I'm stupid enough to do business with a group which breaks just about every rule of netiquette there is. Those who should be "in the know," but who deal with spammers because there's money to be made, are even more distasteful. - -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/ - ------ Forwarded message end ------ - -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/ ------------------------------ End of arachne-digest V1 #1538 ******************************
