It is not a bug in FreeDOS, but a bug in 
codepage 850. ã is missing from it in 
every DOS I looked at.

Thank you for pointing that most modems do
not need device drivers. I had not used
one for over 10 years. External modems mostly
use a COM port and internal ones emulate one in
hardware/firmware. But they still need dialers
and use packet drivers for internet access.
This is what LSPPP and DOSPPP are all about.
Maybe there aren"t PPP packet drivers in Crynwr;
I did not look.

This is, however, a digression from the
Brandon Taylor problem. Why does he want
to use dial-up emulation for internet access?
He did not mention what kind of physical
network his computer is connected to,

[Freedos-user] How can I make FreeDOS display correctly the â

[Jose Senna via Freedos-user]

 I also had this problem, For some reason, the ã
is missing from codepage 850. I use codepage 860 
instead, which is the "official" Portuguese codepage.
 Or you may use Windows-1252 codepage, if this is
available.

 I never said nor implied they are the same.
 I said that, if an user has a machine with a network card,
 and a suitable DOS driver for the card is available, he/she
 may use it, instead of setting a dial-up connection.

  It shall work if you have an internet service
 provider that supports a PPP connection.
  Anyway, you will still need a modem driver for
 DOS. There used to be many of them in old
 software repositories as the Crynwr collection.
  It seems that you already have internet access.
 If it is by an Ethernet LAN through a gateway,
 you may use it under DOS too. You will need
 a DOS device driver for your Ethernet card.
 A difference between DOS and Windows or Linux
is that DOS does not autodetects nor autoinstalls
hardware drivers. Nor are DOS hardware drivers
the same used by other O/Ss; you have to find
and install them yourself.
 Excuse me if I am attempting to explain the obvious,
but it also seems that you are a newbie to DOS.

  I tried the above link and got the reply:

 Would someone please provide a copy of this article in a platform
 that is not at odds with Brazilian courts ?

  But they also remain in the server if the POP3 client
  does not send the DELE command.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS or DOS based mail clients

[Jose Senna via Freedos-user]

  This is not strictly a DOS remark;
 it applies to any e-mail but I think it
 can appear here.

  I thought that folders were a client-side
 convention, and mail (POP3, IMAP) servers kept
 all incoming mail to one address together.
  Webmail, that uses http(s) to access mail as
 links in a webpage is another story.

[Freedos-user] How do I change screen resolution?

[Jose Senna via Freedos-user]

 If this is of any help, you can set an
80x28 resolution in VGA by selecting
an 8x14 pixel font, instead of the more
common 8x16. Some even look better.
 It is also possible to set the screen
mode to an SVGA or higher resolution,
but not all modes support BIOS text
functions, and you need these for DOS
output. What will work depends on the
video card.
