Hello JK,

That's an extensive list :)

This is the purpose of www.freedos.org I believe.

Here I think FDNPKG should be used as the reference, as it is supposed 
to contain the latest versions of everything:

I don't really think writing drivers for modems would be very usefull 
today, I am pretty sure almost nobody use a modem to access the internet 
nowadays. Most people have a SOHO router that they connect to their 
machines either via an ethernet cable or wifi (and here FreeDOS performs 
very poorly, since we have no useable wifi drivers).

That's what FDNPKG is about. But maybe you are referring to some other 
kind of repo, not a repository with installable packages?
