Re: [Lynx-dev] reaching gmail in basic html?

[Jude DaShiell]

msdos and drdos and freedos remain viable with packages like commo as
terminals to log into remote resources and run linux/unix commands on
those remote systems.  I know people who forgot how to configure
ethernet cards in msdos, but maybe using a terminal program like kermit
would access those ethernet cards.  I doubt dos has necessary support to
get wi-fi connections running.
