For current computers, the recommended workaround would be to use an external WiFi to LAN converter, as it is much easier to find LAN style wired network drivers for DOS. Similarily, I would expect Bluetooth to serial port converter modules to work reasonably well with DOS: Those tend to have a modem-style command system to control them and actually serial interfaces between microcontrollers and Bluetooth modules are widespread. It is slow enough to be useful even if not connected by for example a faster SPI bus. Of course you would still need a converter for RS232 signal levels. Combined products may exist. Also, DOS users tend to have modem command skills and dialup tools. Maybe people here could talk about their experiences with specific brands of WiFi LAN gateways or Bluetooth RS232 adapters in DOS :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
