I'm not sure what the point of this comment is, given that I pointed out the two necessary resources to put working ethernet on a DOS box. It's not particularly difficult, and since it can all be done from a simple commmand line, it's very likely to be a good solution for a screen-reader user. Oh, and Crynwr is the Welsh word for Quaker, and is pronounced cru-noor, approximately. http://bat8.inria.fr/~lang/hotlist/free/use/crynwr.html -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.
