a slightly off topic question.

[Count Zero]

Hey all,

I apologize for this somewhat off-topic question, but I figure since many
of you are networking different machines, you might know the answer to this
question.  A friend of mine is trying to find a dos tcpip program.  He has
the ones released by microsoft, however these do not seem to work very well
for him for some reason.  If anyone here has had good experience with
another set of programs and can let me know where to get them, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks much in advance for any help.

I don't have experiance with them, but he may want to try Dr. Dos
drivers. You can download the package from www.lineo.com.

The Tcpip stack your friend uses for DOS, will not work at all, once the
big
switch from Ipv4 to Ipv6 occurs on the Internet. Therefore its important
to
find a Tcpip stack for DOS that will be supported in the near future.
Also 
you want to ask your friend what his application is, or what DOS broswer
he 
will use. This is important because it seems that most DOS Tcpip stacks
are
programmed with hooks to integrate a specific DOS application/browser or
vice versa. If you know a Tcpip programmer your in good shape otherwise
you
will have rely on a commercial Tcpip stack that costs money and may only
work
with that vendors specific applications. The main issue is getting your 
application or browser working with a Tcpip stack under DOS.

Some commercial sources are: "DrDos", "Web boy" or "webboy" that most
search
engines should be able to pull up via these keywords. Another source may
be
"FreeDos", "OpenDos" or some "Embedded Dos" products.

You should try the cutcp stuff Clarkson University Telnet and
associated utilities.  They work very well with dos, and you'll have to
obtain packet drivers for either ethernet cards, slip, or ppp; all of
which sorts are available.

Hi, 
There is a doslynx port out on ftp.leb.net.  It includes some tcpip
programs including a facility for a dial-up PPP connection.
