That attitude toward the MS-DOS source code seems rather limiting and
short-sighted.
My recent device driver worked well enough on later versions of DOS (and
FreeDOS) but I was having a devil of a time trying to figure out why DOS
2.x would not honor the device driver telling it that the media
You clearly don't use search engines too much ...
Try "FreeDOS" and "Networking" as your two words for the search.

I'm just kind of amazed at what I read here at times.
It is no secret that DOS is no longer a mainstream operating system. As a
result, support for it on physical hardware is minimal, if it is supported
at all. Modern machines are just not intended to be used with DOS as the
primary, "bare
FAT is finicky but FAT is not the issue here.
As long as the machine has sufficient time to complete its last writes and
you don't have any programs running using the disk, it should always be
safe to shut down - DOS doesn't buffer or delay writes unless you have some
sort of disk caching program
sort of proxy that meets the spirit of the requirement.
Anyway, I think the OP has been scared off so this is an academic
discussion now. ;-0

That last post was impressive, but I think it makes things way too
complicated.
Obviously something that does real-time operations should not be burdened
with a TSR. But it should also not be burdened with running DOS on legacy
hardware either. Nobody in their right mind is running something
How much is it worth ($$$) to your supervisor?
SNMP runs over UDP. It is possible to write an SNMP agent that runs in the
background as a TSR, but such a thing doesn't exist today. If somebody is
willing to invest it can be done.

It's difficult to follow all of the details of the discussion.
Have you ever looked at getting a shell account on sdf.org? It still
supports plain old Telnet I think it comes with an email address. They
support POP3 and IMAP access to the email too.
Links and Lynx are available there when
I added some limited Unicode support to mTCP Telnet and mTCP IRCjr in the
last release a few months ago.

points or make corrections if they don't like the choices I made.
- The code uses the text file both ways; to
