I know I could do dial-up internet, not quite the question I was looking
for information on however. I'll probably try picking some brains in the
dos echo or some of the networking echoes as well.
A friend of mine had me well situated, still on dial-up with one of my pure
dos boxes tied into networking in NEw ORleans. Don't know all the hoops he
jumped through however. lightning got part of that setup and Katrina did
the rest .

will run dsl on a firewall/router box, network in another linux box and a
win98 box. WOuld like to tie this old dos box into that network as well. 
Packet drivers etc. no problem for dos, just other interfacing possibly.
Thanks,

Regards,
           Richard
