Yep.
Since the we are connecting to 'the net' via a PPP connection.....
we can't use Telix (or any other of our old friends "the com-progs")
My favorite from the old BBS days was "Cedar Island Link".
Now, if you really *do* want others to be able to access your system.
It's easy to setup an HTTP server in DOS.
Here are the BATs I use to do turn it on and off.
--- srvr-on.bat ---
c:
cd \www0005
miniterm.exe
lh epppdd.exe>ppp.log
call ip-up.bat
call setip.bat
ntcpdrv.exe
www.com
