Is it actually possible? On a 99+ % M$-free box

I'm talking about the sort of printer drivers that you install using 
the standard floppies that come with the printer, the one that 
delightfully instructs you to (1) Insert disk into Drive A: (2) From 
start, choose settings, blah. It seems that wine doesn't have its own 
control panel that would let you install winprinter drivers (which 
aren't executable, so you can't do wine <filename.exe> on it). GS 
obviously won't work.

As for MIDI, I'm look for the sort of software support that allows me 
to transparently play multimedia titles like Encarta 97 (which I have 
successfully installed) and who knows, an old-fashioned first-person 
shooter. Timidity of course won't do.

As for the ppp, I'm looking to install a freemail (no dialup cost) 
service which expectedly comes only in a M$ variety. Obviously I need 
to get ppp working (after I hoepfully figure out some way of 
installing the software). Or maybe, just how to connect the normal 
DUN way, and get to browse using Explorer.
