I'll just keep replacing them in my DOS box and see
if I can get them recognized and find drivers.
Also, did you say you might have a network stack
that worked with dialup there? If you had that, or
a network card, then I could mail you a CD with
a whole complete setup of all the network programs
on it - ready to go and just copy onto your HDD or
something. I really like doing complete setups
and it could just be a directory on your computer
with that added to your path. Anyway, the idea
of mailing you a CD with everything you'd ever need
for using DOS on the internet, sounds like an idea.
Did have, before Katrina. I've got to get network cards.
I've got networking in the linux box here, and the other two machines I've got are just bare bones motherboards and power supplies, waiting to be populated. That's why it had me
curious waht you found, as I"d like to know what I could
look for at a hamfest or other flea market situation for
nics that I could have somebody get me drivers for if
nothing else. IN NEw ORleans for awhile, before another
tropical storm I think I was using slackware and a dos
machine networked, also had the wife's machine on that
network. I think it was LIly took a big part of that system out <g>. Katrina pretty much finished the process taking
out other stuff that had network interface installed.
THis dos box is a COmpac 133, originally set up with network cards, don't know what happened to them, because this one
originally was off the net entirely as it ran recording
studio midi automation using cakewalk for dos. IT survived
the hurricane because it got a lot of my batch file
enhancements, my homebrew logging software for radio work
and resided at University HOspital NEw ORleans during
Katrina. As I noted to you in private mail, it has only one older school slot.
That slot it occupied by the speech
synthesizer card, which I can't lose or I lose access to it
<g>.
E-mail using "netmail" or other MTP is really a pain
because of the different steps involved in writing
headers and also taking the incoming mail and
renaming it to something useful before you can keep
track of it. However, I plan to set up a little
system for myself again to do that more easily. You
would probably like it and I'd send you the files.
Still, Pegasus for DOS is already happening and
it sounds like Nancy could send you a copy. I have
no idea how to set that up, but she probably does.
I think I saw PEgasus elsewhere. Also, I've got this sysop
editor, and i can easily make it part of the bbs thing which is what I"ve got in mind with zworg, mainly as a fidonet
transport facility. I"d keep my current pots links via
modem, but another capability is always cool.
Just some thoughts before going to bed.
INteresting. I haven't even put a cdrom drive in this
thing. I think I've got one around here somewhere, and
probably everything with the dos 6.22 which I had installed
on this machine. WE gave the big heave to win95 or whatever was on here and rolled it back to dos 6.22 when I acquired
it as part of a deal, a bunch of these compaqs through local radio club.
Regards,
Richard
