Hello Phil -

It is possible to use DOS on the Internet, it's just not
automated installs with simple questions to answer then go
online (as Windows installs are). 

Some years ago when I first wanted to use DOS to go online on
the internet it was very time consuming. Bits and pieces of
information scattered here and there with no one willing to
admit some if the software just wasn't very good at all. 

Links to all of the software required is located at my website
now but it is still necessary to do some reading of text files
and configurations before it will all come together. 

PM> === On the other hand, I may soon be hating Linux. 

Using Linux is much like learning DOS over again. A bit
confusing at times, everything is not logical, filenames are a
bit cryptic, and everything does not always work as advertised
on all hardware.
