For DOS to linux telnet I need a packet driver.
I found two listed at www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/dos, put together 
by someone who uses DOS and linux, with many excellent links.
dosppp06.zip (over 300K), the standard
lsppp.zip (about 50K), fewer features but maybe easier to set up.

He also had a link to the DRDOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project, which is up 
to DRDOS 7.01.06 (stable) and 7.01.07 (unstable, fixed problem with 
XMSDSK).  06 has FAT32 support.  SOmeone else is offering DRDOS 7.04 and 
7.05 which are said to be really buggy and won't rename files sometimes. 
But there is a patch or maybe a way to just use part of the new stuff.

I wrote the forum suggesting the author of this site take a look at 
basiclinux. He listed a few other small linuxes in his links.


I have no idea what I did right the first time but now I cannot telnet 
between linux computers while running in.telnetd -debug on the second one. 
It worked  a few times, stopped working while I was dialed into the net on 
the target computer, worked again while still dialed in, then after I 
rebooted to try with DOS (needs a packet driver) it won't work again. 
Lucky  me.  I made sure the cable was pushed in at both ends.

I should have taken better notes.

telnet clark

Could not establish a connection.  Cable is in Com1 (ttyS0).
