DOS BBS Updates!

From j0HNNY a1PHA@21:4/158 to All on Tue Mar 5 20:21:10 2024

Having been 'round the horn with DOS 6.22 + Proxmox + Networking, I
finally resigned myself to trying VirtualBox w/FreeDOS 1.3, MSCLIENT w/
TCP/IP and File Sharing...

(ProxMox problem might be unique to my setup, but essentially even
through I was getting an IP Address from DHCP, the device wasn't showing
on the network and mTCP gave me a notice that the DHCP server wasn't
honoring my machine name -- all the forum fix suggestions just didn't
work).

But MSCLIENT -- it just... works on Vbox w/FreeDOS, ha. I don't get a
machine name assigned, but I can access via IP, unlike mTCP.

Maybe I'll try some other Proxmox settings, but hoping I can run RLFOSSIL
and Iniquity with the remaining conventional memory on Vbox. I've got a
Win7 machine handling the File Sharing parts.

Also, my new Pi 4 arrived today, so will still give Dosbian a go this
weekend!
