I had a difficult time quoting your message, or part, with nonworking mouse in 
this old version of NetBSD.

I believe I can also not get my Realtek Ethernet to work with (Free or 
other)DOS.  NetBSD OK.  Linux also OK.

Motherboard manufacturers have largely quit supporting DOS.

I have wondered if you can set up something to boot by PXE if motherboard has 
such support in the BIOS or UEFI (but (Free or other)DOS can not understand 
UEFI).

In DOS, much hardware is supported by the BIOS rather than OS-specific drivers. 
 Let any reader on this list correct me if I'm wrong on this issue.

Regarding the ugly multipart/alternative format, my experience with mobile 
phone apps is that very few email apps can send plain text without HTML 
attachment.  

Normally I don't CC to the individual sender on this list, but I am honoring 
your Reply-To: header.
