1) How do you enter "ã"?
2) Is that a separate key on your keyboard?
3) What does

produce, when you hit that key or key combo?

Re: [Freedos-user] Dial-up emulation

Hi Jose,

What you said is:
"Anyway, you will still need a **modem driver** for DOS."
(** added by me to emphasize)

You continued with:
"There used to be many of them in old software repositories as the
Crynwr collection."

This collection of **packet drivers** is still available at
. And packet drivers are typically for
Ethernet network cards, not modems.

Cheers,
Robert

Says who?

Glad it worked now.

For the record:
Older VirtualBox versions (<6.0) should still run on Windows XP, but I
didn't try for myself.
https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=66264
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2

By the way: Oldest version I have here is
`VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Win_x86.msi` from 2008. It's only 18 Mbyte in size,
while v5.2.44 is 105 Mbyte.

Cheers,
Robert
