| WRITE ME! |
| For enabling network connectivity you first need to know what kind of network |
| adapter you have, and obtain a suitable packet driver for it. The "crynwr" |
| package contains lots of packet drivers for a variety of network adapters. |
| There is also a packet driver for Intel Pro cards in the e1000pkt package, and |
| a driver for AMD PC-NET cards in the pcntpk package. |
| |
| You need to get the packet driver for your card onto the machine, and load it. |
| Then, you should be able to access the internet and get anything else you need |
| using wget, htget, gopherus and other network-enabled applications. |
| |
| Note that packet drivers are mostly available for old-ish interfaces. If you |
| have some modern ethernet card, then there might not be a packet driver |
| available for it. |

| %hFILE SHARING |
| |
| Perhaps these links could provide some pointers: |
| <http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_MS_Client> |
| <https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/?page_id=374> |
| |
| There is also EtherDFS, which is a very lightweight and easy solution for |
| file-sharing between DOS and Linux (but it does require a Linux PC and some |
| basic understanding of how Linux works): |

| %hVIRTUALBOX - PACKET DRIVER |
| |
| VirtualBox is able to emulate an AMD PC-NET NIC (you need to make sure of that |
| in the configuration of your VM, VirtualBox calls it "PCnet-FAST III" and it |
| should be set to "NAT"). Then, in SvarDOS you have to install the pcntpk.zip |
| package - you don't even need to download it, it's already present on the |
| installation image so it should be as simple as that: |
| |
| pkg install a:\pcntpk.zip |
| |
| Finally, load it as such: |
| |
| C:\DRIVERS\PCNTPK\PCNTPK INT=0x60 |
| |
| ...and that's it. From now on, you should be able to search through the |
| available online packages and install extra software, for example: |
| |
| pkgnet pull gopherus |
| pkg install gopherus.zip |
| |
| (gopherus is a gopher browser) |
| |
| To search through the list of available packages in the online repository, use |
| that: |
| |
| pkgnet search your_search_term |
