Another big problem is HTTPS. Since almost every site goes to HTTPS-only
it impossible with older browsers to open.
But anyway, the internet is a big place where WWW is only a part. You
can use FDIMPLES to automatically download an install packages on your
DOS system.
You can use it for chatting on IRC or do like others do, ssh to a
lynx-box and to text-mode-browsing, ...
The most obvious solution was already told. If you go for a wireless
access point configured as client, you can't do anything wrong.
I have an old WRT54 (I realize now it is *really* old now...) and do the
same. It connects every old PC and cash register to my wireless.

Hi Bret,
That was an interesting read.
I suppose what confuses me is the idea that one cannot do much in dos
on the internet. Perhaps you are speaking of direct connecting,
although my understanding that the <spelling> Arachnid browser for dos
supports JavaScript just fine, although I have not used it directly.
Speaking personally I use DOS every day on the internet, but I am
first using ssh telnet to a service which in turn provides various
tools, lynx, links, and e-links for example on a shell structure...but
my computer is still running dos to get there.
What I find really amazing about the article is that someone took the
time to make all that work.
Fortifies my desire to see sshdos updated with new dh keys smiles.

For the wireless connection, Michael Brutman (maker of MTCP) has this
page that discusses another option:

I haven't used on of these for DOS, but did use one (the one that
Michael recommends) in another application where the device only had
a wired Ethernet port and I needed it to be wireless since it was
clear on the other side of the house from where the wireless router
was. In the past, I know there were a few wireless NIC's that came
with DOS drivers, but I haven't seen any new DOS-compatible wireless
devices in a long time. Your best bet if you want to go wireless
with DOS is to use the wired Ethernet port on the computer and hook
it up to one of these "bridges". Of course, you still need a DOS
driver for the wired Ethernet port and those can be difficult to find
as well. Also, even if you get DOS to access the Internet, what you
can actually do is pretty limited. Even just simple web browsing is
difficult, since most modern web pages require JavaScript and DOS
browsers don't support it. There are some things you can do with DOS
(like automated file downloads and such), but overall it's pretty
limited.
