Hi all.
I want to setup a linux OL box on a machine.
then I want to setup a OD DOS box to be a client of the linux box.
I then want to have the linux box on the internet at all times.
The dos box I want to have a: floppy, b: zip, c: hdd, d: dcrom, f: the
linux box.

On the f: drive I would have a linux prompt.
In other words the linux box would be my file server and access to the
internet.  I would install some networking drivers etc and be connected
either a serial connection or networking card.

Is this possible?

What requirements would the linux box need?
What about the software I would need?

I would want to do all this in text mode.
Has any one got this up and running right now?
I could then have direct access to the net all the time.
I also would be able to run DOS apps and linux apps from my dos box.

Could some one direct me on how to get started?
Is this even possible?

thank you.
Sam
