Network Setup

Network Setup is not trivial in DOSBox without applying patches e.g. NE2000 NIC interface. But anyway, it is possible; at least with slip/PPP over serial or with packet driver shim over IPX. In the followings, ubuntu linux host is assumed at least when slip or ppp is used.

HOWTOs

• PPP configuration on linux host
• Slip configuration on linux host
• Tunneling over DOSBox builtin IPX feature (tunneling in tunneling, despite this, it is the simplest to deploy)

Networking Applications

• Bobcat/Lynx browser
• mIRC16 v4.72 16bit IRC client (Windows 3.11)
• mTCP DOS application collection (see more at Slip configuration on linux host)
• X-Appeal - X server application

Operating Systems

• Almost all DOSes that work in DOSBox using serial packet driver or SHIMs to ODI/NDIS for certain applications
• Microsoft Windows 3.11 with Winsock
• QNX4 demofloppy - modem version (with ppp setup, a standalone live operating system on one floppy)
• Minix2 16bit ppp demo - Minix2 operating system demo with modem and slip support - slip setup despite its name
