I''m totally blind so maybe this weekend I'll find a neighbor who can look 
at the ethernet card in my dos box.  It's got the network edition of drdos 
on it and the ethernet card has an ethernet connector and a bnc connector 
too.  I don't yet have a net.cfg file built and am wondering if any dos 
utilities exist that can query these cards and build some appropriate set 
up files for it so I can get out to the internet.  Right now I have 
verizon.net but will be changing to metrocast.net shortly.  I've found 
Linux orders of magnitude easier to get going with ethernet cards.  Well 
before this I had a lot of respect for those with the knowledge of how to 
get ethernet and other things going in dos that was back in the days when 
everyone was using dos but unfortunately I didn't get the technology or 
the exposure necessary to learn to do this back when it was hot in the dos 
world.  It was a workplace thing; a particular branch manager was into 
providing everyone of his programmers with minimal equipment and software 
to the extent they had to use customer's computers to run processor 
intensive applications.  In that kind of atmosphere, only management 
flourishes.
