NE2000 card emulation with DOSBox :)

[Mike Chambers]

i just stumbled across this little gem. here's a patched version of DOSBox 0.72 that has built-in emulation of an NE2000 ethernet card. i've been looking for something like this for quite a while.

i packaged it up all nice and neat in a ZIP, ready to go. just extract it to wherever you want to run DOSBox from. make sure you read the README_RIGHT_NOW!.TXT file!

That is fantastic! Great find!

yeah, i can think of about a million uses for this. if nothing else, it will make it a lot easier to work network progs with QB and TC (when i get to that point with TC anyway)

Where did the patched version with network support come from? Do you have the original link?

Nevermind, found it here:

And wow, what a great job the author did. DOSBOX doesn't normally support Ethernet. I'm running my IRC client in it now and it is working perfectly.

Very cool, thanks for that, will come in VERY handy!

I never knew dosbox didn't support ethernet in the first place, but in that case, that's pretty cool :p
