Hi, with FreeDOS, you can indeed use dialup if you have a real serial port modem (as opposed to a Winmodem / softmodem, for which you would need extra drivers which you will not have for DOS). You can also use a LAN connection, crynwr has many network card drivers for DOS. Your app can then use wattcp (16bit) or watt32 (32bit, e.g. Watcom or GNU C DJGPP compiler) network stack libraries - the kernel itself has no network support, so the stack has to be linked to your ssh dot exe or whatever you are developing (by the way, there already is ssh2dos :-)).
Note that documentation for watt... is not free, while the library itself is. However, the library comes with some sample code, so you can use that for inspiration. Eric PS: Please give more details about what kind of application you want to develop. PPS: For dialup, use doschat or lsppp dial-in tools. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
