I want to disable the beep in certain freedos applications.
Most importantly COMMAND.COM
I got on the IRC yesterday, and recieved a couple of suggestions.
The first one was to disconnect the bell from the motherboard. I want

In my experience, Links is not very compatible with modern web pages.
I use it and like it, but it is a text browser. It does not have very
much CSS support. My understanding is that the two most
feature-complete browsers for DOs are Dillo and Arachne. Maybe someone

I was *born* after support was dropped for MS-DOS, so I can't claim
nostalgia as my reason for use. Recently I installed FreeDOS on my
