Subject: new release of DosLynx and a dedicated PPP driver
aloha, y'all, and a special aloha, to you, willem!
while it is a good idea for those attempting to use DOSLynx to peruse
the
subdirectory structure of
ftp://ftp2.cc.ukans.edu/pub/DosLynx
(note the capitalization in the word DosLynx) in particular the
/support
subdirectory, for packet drivers, a more fruitful line of inquiry,
would be an exploration of wayne buttles' unofficial doslynx archive,
located at:
http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx
wayne recently (september 1996) released a new version DOSLynx
(version
0.16A), and the DOSLYNX-DEV group has developed a new PPP driver for
use
with DOSLYNX, DLYNXPPP.ZIP (be forwarned: you need to use the -d
switch
when you unzip this archive)
why doesn't anyone know about wayne's work? part of the problem is
that
wayne's site is uaffiliated with UKANS, and until recently, the UKANS
Lynx-related pages were hopelessly outdated (in case you don't know,
UKANS
stopped supporting lynx with the release of Lynx version in february
1995
and DOSLYNX with the release of version 0.08A in august 1994)... in
fact, a link to wayne's site was only recently added to the unkans
site,
while the lynx page still states that the latest release of Lynx is
2.5,
when it is, in fact, 2.6
another problem is that there is currently no FTP archive dedicated to
Wayne's DOSLynx work (any volunteers?)...
one caveat about using release 0.16A (note this applies to blind
users of speech-synthesis _ONLY_: in my correspondence with wayne, he
admitted that he has been hacking DOSLynx with an eye towards
aesthetics, as well as stability, and was unsure as to how much of the
original release's speech friendliness had been retained... depending
on your speech-synthesis setupt, therefore, you may need to use one of
the older buttles releases: 0.09A, 0.10A, or 0.11A
since none of the older releases are available from the unofficial
archive site, you should email wayne directly at the following
eddress:
to obtain a copy of an older distribution...
as for DOS-based PPP communications packages for use with pcs of a
pre-286
or 286 vintage, your best bet is to use the XT/286 distribution of
NetTamer,
n1051xt.zip, which is available from the Official NetTamer site:
http://people.delphi.com/davidcolston
the other advantage of NetTamer is that it does _NOT_ require a
separate
TSR PPP driver...
safe surfing, y'all -- keep a sharp ear cocked for riptides,
gregory.
