RE: TCP/IP stack for DOS -- MIDRANGE-L


Have you consider using DOS Trumpet (winsock)?  I used to connect to the   
I-net long ago using Trumpet and Lynx.  It seems to me that a similar   
configuration should work here.

Happy New Year.

Jack:
I hope to not have to load Lantistic to get TCP/IP support.  Surely there
is software out there.  I did a few searches on the Web and got a zillion
hit, on the keywords I put in, but could not find the software I was
interested in.  Thought I'd ask the real experts.
