Re: [Freedos-user] DOS networking with embedded Realtek PCIe - 8168

[Karen L. <kle...@sh...>]

really?
If sshdos no longer connects, then how am I sending this e-mail?
I use dos exclusively and sshdos as packaged in ssh2021b.
In the program readme file putty for windows is referenced as one element 
of the various codes and libraries  used in how the program was 
constructed.
Lastly, in the  discussion  area of sshdos  an individual explains how 
they configured sshdos to be recognized  by current  openssh...so
there is nothing in of itself about dOS that translates into it not 
connecting.
granted, I am not running freedos, but I can with my dos network 
configuration run a browser from my desktop if needful, it is just not 
needful   for me due to ssh.
