A very good BSD (Unix) shell can be found at sdf.org.
You have free usage of Lynx and Links, if you pay a small charge, you
con configure your home account and adds a lot of Unix programs like
Mutt, Alpine and SLRN.
The only problem is that there are no modern SSH program for MS-DOS that
can access it (authentication problems).
You can still log to sdf.org using MS-DOS by Telnet. I regularly do it
with a 80286 with a 720 KBy floppy running MS-DOS 2.11
Another free limited shell with Lynx. Links and eLinks is
lynx.scramworks.net.

I wonder how long shellworld has to live. I completely failed to find
any current marketing page for it, and people have said, here, that
they have failed to get accounts created.
The Wayback Machine suggests that it hasn't been marketed for over ten
years, although it does seem to have been intended as a blind users'
system, rather than a power users' one. The last page captured that
wasn't empty or invalid seems to be October 2007, and it was blank by
December that year.
I assume they are not taking on new users and will close when the
number remaining drops sufficiently.
