Well, sure. I would imagine most people on this list are using DSL or a
cable modem.
I guess the biggest problem you might encounter is that your DSL provider
probably won't support linux. But linux was made for networking. All the
tools are there, it's just a matter of learning how to use them.

Subject: DOS Linux and dsl?
Hi folks,
Granted before I can work on this I should have a Linux setup outside of
my shellworld account. Still i am wondering if anyone is using DSL well
with speech either in DOS Linux or both?
Ages ago I saw a script to allow for it in DOS, and am wondering if this
is done via networking the dos and Linux machines together?
all hints welcome,
Karen

Most Linux systems now use ssh and sftp as alternatives to telnet and

distributions include ssh and sftp by default.
When I am at school, I use dos versions called putty and sftp available

Let me know how it works for you.

Subject: Telnet and FTP between a DOS System and Linux Boxes
I need to have a telnet and an FTP client on a DOS<br>system. The last
version of MS-Kermit for DOS has support for at<br>least telnet and the
use of the kermit protocol over an Ethernet<br>providing one uses the
right drivers.<br><br> What is the least painful way to get FTP and
telnet<br>clients in DOS that works well with speech? MS-Kermit
works<br>just fine with speech but I have seen some FtP clients
that<br>cause the speech to behave strangely because they do something
odd<br>with the way characters are sent out.<br><br> I need the FTP
client to hopefully backup the DOS system<br>over a network to a Linux
host that can handle <br>backups much more gracefully than feeding one
floppy after<br>another in to the DOS box and hoping that if you need
them, they<br>will not let you down.<br><br> I did find a set of drivers
on a site in England that<br>reportedly works with Kermit. The
collection is called apps.zip.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Martin
