Slightly OT, but why You not run Freedos under Linux and DOSEMU
emulator? This give support for networking (IP packet driver and IPX),
is possible run Linux programs from Freedos, use files from Linux
filesystem in DOS programs and vice versa, printing to Linux
supported printers...
"dosemu" package (which include Freedos) is in Fedora rpmfusion
repository.
