Re: [Freedos-user] Using the internet with FreeDOS made easy
Hi, (By the way, Eric, a problem with my ISP destroyed your original message, could you send it to me in private?) PS: I did not test IRCABI because the LSM tells that you would need SLIP, while I have plain Ethernet / LAN. Do you think it would work anyway? I don't know about SLIP, but PLIP does work for FreeDOS for a long time (unless something was broken in between). The following article (a recipe for the La Espiral project, (Debian in Spanish)), in Spanish, describes how to connect a DOS machine to the internet via PLIP using FreeDOS and a machine with Linux. http://laespiral.org/recetas/1-100/receta45.html (using the crynwr PLIP driver, and even NCSA Telnet). There are still many things that have changed in FreeDOS since then (23rd march 2001), in particular, the article mentions the missing EMM386 (that we now have), mentions xkeyb as keyboard driver. Otherwise ok. I hope babelfish works well, it's a pretty lengthy article to be translated ;-) (but can do it if popular request).

Though it talks about equivalent access to the source code. If someone who can access the binary can't access the source code, only then you have a problem, but as most released zips have both source code and binary there is usually no issue. Anyway without the OP explaining his claim this is just guessing ]. I am writing this mail in DOS :-)). SSH2DOS -t vt100 -v -n -g username servername err, you are using your DOS PC as a vt100 terminal to a Unix-style server. But then what does DOS know about writing emails... Another good point with FreeDOS + SSH2DOS is that my disk just went to sleep :-). In Linux, it is never really idle. The bad point is that I cannot switch to another window or do anything else than SSHing while I am in this SSH2 session in FreeDOS... run dosemu remotely (perhaps using -dumb) and GNU screen or something like that and you can switch between multiple DOS programs and Linux programs as often as you like :) Bart --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 ___ Freedos-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
