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.
