I just realized the importance of setting up a cross compiler on my linux
machine while I was unzipping the source for openssl and remembered of the
limit of 8.3 filenames :/

The various Wifi232 variants seem to run about $45-$100USD.  I think
the PiModems w/a $10-$15USD PiZeroW could be made cheaper but no one
seems to be producing prebuilt versions.

[Freedos-user] Serial port WiFi modems - was: MS-DOS 7.1

2020-12-07 Thread Eric Auer


Hi DOS people,

those links from Louis are really interesting!

For example the Guru Modem is a device based on the
tiny ESP32 WROOM computer (actually sold as controller
for WiFi and Bluetooth, but has plenty of CPU power)
which has a serial port to connect it to your PC
and has some modem simulation software installed.

For the PC, it will look like a classic serial
RS232 dial-up modem, but it will use your WiFi
to connect to the internet, instead of actually
connecting your computer to any phone line :-)

As Louis has suggested a whole collection of links
to various similar products, I wonder which of them
are pre-assembled and which have to be assembled by
those who buy them? Also, what are the prices? Have
DOS users already tested the products? Which ones
would you recommend? The general idea is very cool,
although LAN is of course much faster than RS232.

Regards, Eric

PS: I guess 5 Volt from your USB port should have
enough power for the Guru Modem? Or use a charger.

I have met a few folks over the years comfortable with that kind of work 
even  while experiencing blindness.
I am not one, which is why I find, and support the talent for my 
professional needs.

Hopefully others will resonate with those ideas.
Frankly I would love to find someone capable of building sshdos with more 
secure dh keys.

That's a honest question.

BTW, MS-DOS 2.0 appears to be libre (MIT) nowadays - that could also be a
good fit to some, given how small footprint (much smaller than FreeDOS) it
has.

I like it very much! :-)

Can we have:
1) Clickable web links, please? E.g., http://www.trumpet.com.au/ at

2) A back to home function by clicking on "FreeDOS help system (hhstndrd
1.0.8 en)".
3) A search function.

   This is not brevity, this is plain spam. Even if this mailinglist
   was a chat room, all messages so far have been unintelligible:

   None of those emails has made any sense yet.

Update: this evening I created an AMB reader for PHP. This allows one to 
host AMB books on a web server and read them with a browser, the 
conversion being performed on the fly.


The FreeDOS help that I have earlier converted to AMB can now be read 
on-line. Here's how it looks like:

A link to the above URL is also present on the main page of the AMB

Hello,

These past few days I was working on a new hobby project. It is called 
AMB, and it is a simple hyperlink format that makes it possible to 
create "books" that are easy to read even on very limited hardware.


The "books" can be viewed with a tool named AMB. It is only a few 
kilobytes big and requires about 80K of available RAM.


As a demo, I converted the FreeDOS help today into an AMB book. This is 
something that I will use as the help tool in the Svarog386 FreeDOS 
distribution, but perhaps it could be an interesting alternative for 
vanilla FreeDOS as well. The AMB reader, as well as the format 
specification and the converted FreeDOS help file can all be downloaded 
on the project's home page:


   http://ambook.sourceforge.net

It is still a very much work-in-progress project, but perfectly 
functional already. I will certainly add a few features during incoming 
weeks (mouse support, some form of light compression, full-text search, 
etc).


I'd like also to compile the RBIL into an AMB book in some near future.

Enjoy.

Re: [Freedos-user] MS-DOS 7.1

2020-12-07 Thread Karen Lewellen
When my engineer is next able to list everything after a visit, I will 
share.

Post pandemic restrictions most likely.
We really would like to put freedos on a laptop, I have a thinkpad p3 that 
we considered using, but I could never find a  modem card that would work. 
add  the lack of firm networking included, and we found Nothing that 
freedos provided  that made it worth the test at the time.

That's cool and all, but in what way exactly is it better than FreeDOS? 
That's a honest question.


BTW, MS-DOS 2.0 appears to be libre (MIT) nowadays - that could also be a 
good fit to some, given how small footprint (much smaller than FreeDOS) it 
has.

Re: [Freedos-user]  Re: Dillo Web Browser

2020-12-07 Thread Bryan Kilgallin

Kai:


My experience with Dillo in NetBSD is that it works sometimes and
only on the less-complex web sites. Forget online banking!


I had an old, slow computer. On that I used lightweight software such as 
Dillo. Reasoning that if I only wanted to read say a text page, then 
these sufficed!
