DOS Linux and dsl?

[Jude DaShiell]

One could just use ms-kermit 3.16 or 3.15 on the dos box and get the 
proper packet driver installed for their ethernet card to work with dos 
and once that's done a little configuration with kermit might or might not 
be necessary.  Kermit is set to look for 192.168.1.1 by default and if it 
finds an ehternet card there, you're effectively on the net.  Kermit was 
able to go out on ethernet cards back in the early 1990's and was pulling 
large files down very quickly in those years.
