Any luck so far? Given a spare moment, I could dig into my system to
see how I did it. I remember using a solution using a packet radio
driver and an 'ftp' program that I used before Win 3.11 networking
came along. As to be expected of DOS, it mucked with a slew of drivers
in CONFIG.SYS. I'm sure it was fixed IP, so your best bet would be
to set up a firewall Linux box to connect to the cable modem,
and run your old boxes on a subnet with fixed IPs that can talk to
the firewall to get to the net.
