    Have one point on Freedos 1.3 RC4 using Waterloo TCP/IP and binkd 1.1a. (I know, it is not "true" tcp/ip). Wondering if ipv6 can be used in that way.

    Hi Stan, I have an old computer (CPU Pentium 75 MHz, 16 MB RAM, HDD 5.1 GB). From May to November of this year, win95osr2 was installed on it, but I recently installed FreeDOS 1.3. The Internet connection is via MTCP (with RTSPKT network card packet drivers). The Links browser & Multimail 0.52 is also installed.

    XP isn't really old, but the XP box is next to a 486DX33 VESA BUS box I ain't turned on fer years.

    Also have a C=64 that's not been used lately either.
