I think you can view the OpenDOS archives at :
"http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=opendos/2001"

As for your DNS detection problem, I can only suggest you
contact your ISP and ask them what the problem might be.
Certainly, if you can't even get this to work with Windoze 9X,
there must be a problem - and the ISP can't just say "well, we
don't support DOS", in this case!

Sound Blaster PCI 128 driver ... ?
Well, try "http://www.soundblaster.com/drivers/" ... Although they
say no drivers are available for this for DOS, it's quite possible that
a DOS driver for _another_ SB model will work (?).

Joe.
