Hi all, forwarding some good news from Georg Potthast :-)
Because many people still use Ghost, you can still find network drivers for new hardware online. As it is easier to find ODI (and NDIS) drivers for Windows3 and Netware than to find plain DOS packet drivers, you can use for example odipkt based on dune.pol.lublin.pl/pub/pc/odipkt/odipkt13.asm to turn ODI into packet drivers. Georg has collected modern drivers and, where needed, bundled them with odipkt and sample batch files to load the drivers. His page also saves you from downloading large ZIPs which include Windows 9x drivers - you only get what you need for DOS :-). Note that you do NOT get the source code. The drivers are from the manufacturers, not from an open source initiative like http://www.crynwr.com/ ... The drivers work well with his new freeware DOS webserver :-). Here is what Georg writes: Hi Eric, many DOS TCP/IP applications rely on a packet driver. These packet drivers are difficult to find for the computers in use today. To support the use of TCP/IP with DOS, I have compiled a collection of [network] packet drivers for DOS. If you need a packet driver for more recent PCs which are not included in the crynwr collection you will probably find it here: http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm These packet drivers can also be used with my Sioux Web Server for DOS which you can find here: http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/ Sioux is a new Web Server for DOS which is based on a packet driver and the trumpet NTCPDRV. It features: - HTTP web server sending HTML pages and other files on requests by standard web browsers. - server log of all requests - configurable web page directory - sends directory listing if index.htm page is not found in subdirectory - supports GET, HEAD and POST methods - CGI support with POST and GET - multiple domains - DYNDNS client SIOUX is free to use.
