Well, my guess is that virtio should need much less code than,
say, ne2k. And with GNU/Linux as the guest, it runs
considerably (as in: times) faster.

BTW, I was unable to find any Crynwr's packet drivers on the
FreeDOS 1.1 image?

ACK, thanks!
Somehow, I've ended using mkdosdisk.sh to create
~/tmp/dos-exchange.image (thus -hdb ~/tmp/dos-exchange.image),
which I access with Mtools from the host's side, like:
$ grep -F -- dos-ex .mtoolsrc
drive x: file="/home/private/users/ivan/tmp/dos-exchange.image" partition=1
$ mdir x:
Volume in drive X has no label
Volume Serial Number is 2599-F805
Directory for X:/

I'm sure it'd be both faster and cheaper to print it ourselves
than to wait fo delivery, so I'm interested mainly in files.
