What is the outlook for freedos 1.1? I'd like to see improved stability overall, better networking options, and integration of the package manager into a gui. Gem is great because it is light and that's what freedos should be, light on resource use. I think there should be some discussion on

Has anyone gotten Jeff Vavasour's coco 3 emulator to work at all in freedos? I believe that the source code is freely available. http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/trs80.html Optimal system requirements for the CoCo 3 Emulator are VGA compatibility, 429K of low DOS memory free and 384K of free EMS.

A bug fixed 1.0 with broader network card support via crynwr or a porting of the Linux network drivers would be great. Another thing I'd like is a way to increase the resolution in opengem. Another thing I'd like to see is a decoupling of arachne's pop client as some people, like me, use imap.

I could get it to work under vmware with wget believe it or not, but I haven't gotten it to work on real hardware even with curl. Another problem I've noticed is that fdupdate doesn't seem to record the new version of a package that it has updated. My 486 is passing memtest with flying colors.
