Hi, if it turns out that there is some "MS chap" for PPP that old Linux versions cannot handle, I would be interested to know. I get the impressions that old versions of Linux are getting worse and worse in dialing up to updated Windows oriented servers. Which sucks! Luckily providers do not go as crazy as AOL and start their own completely PPP-unrelated protocols. Sigh.
There are DOS viruses that make you lose data. Definitely. You just were lucky. Linux is Windows-aware, and there are free drivers to make Windows Linux-aware (partition-wise). You do not need WAITASEC to scroll back in Linux: You have hotkeys for that already enabled by default. Hm, FreeDOS boots into the file manager by default? I do not think so. It boots into a shell. Linux does the same, but asks you for a password first. And if you enable the graphical login, it will of course offer the graphical login instead of the shell login first. You can use the Ctrl-Alt-F1 hotkey to ignore the offer and login in text mode ;-).
