The dosbook program does what for screen reader users like myself are bad 
screen writes which screen readers have trouble handling.  Later I found 
the drdos documentation on line and tried doing what was in Chapter 25. 
That's when a friend and me found out we're probably going to need to find 
a compatible pci card if such exists.  Most compatible cards are isa based 
and require exact matches for drivers or drdos never detects the card. 
We're using dhcp over here and tcp/ip with metrocast.com.  That's going 
through a ditigal modem and router that isn't wireless.  I figure lynx and 
mskermit should work fine once I get it set up as well as wput and wget 
and the ssh tools in djgpp but nettamer won't work without a dial up modem 
unless it's since been updated substantially.  Right now, the bios/cmos 
recognizes an ethernet card in the machine but drdos setup doesn't find 
any ethernet card.
