My latest obsession is Arachne, the GPL'ed DOS browser/suite. It installs quite fine under dosemu (1.34 compiled from source under Ubuntu 6.06). I think I have the right packet manager for my 3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX) network interface. The problem is that when I launch the packet driver I get C:\PACKDRIV>3C90XPD 3Com EtherLink PCI Bus Master Packet Driver v5.2.6 (C) Copyright 1999 3Com Corp. All rights reserved. Error: No EISA nor PCI bus were found. (Under 1.33 I was getting a strange message and dosemu crashed, but with 1.34 things seem to have been improved).
See section 15. Networking using DOSEMU in doc/README.txt in the 1.3.4 source. In general you can't access your ethernet hardware directly, well you could in DOSEMU with a bit of luck (not with DosBox), but you'd have to be root, set up ports, IRQs and disable the Linux kernel's usage of the network card... not to be recommended. The way to go is to set up a virtual network using TUN/TAP, where the DOSEMU virtual machine gets its own IP address. It's not exactly straightforward but certainly doable if you follow the instructions in README.txt.
