DosBox doesn't support TCP/IP though so you'll need to use SLIP to use DosBox's emulated modem to access the internet.
or you can add TCP/IP support to DosBox along with the emulated NIC cards and then you'd be ready to go.
mmm... ok no internet... 🙁
another question: in my shop there is a lan with 4 computers running a dos program. Do you think I can run it with linux and dosbox?
P.S. : I'm not an expert 🙁
What host OS are you using?
What is the DOS program?
Does it require LAN access?
What does it use for LAN? TCP/IP? IPX?
Actually the program works under win XP & CMD in all PC's but I would install Ubuntu with DOSBOX.
The program was created by a "freelance" programmer some years ago, so it is not a commercial and known product.
This shop use this program for the administration, book-keeping, manage in-out goods, sales ecc.. ecc.. and doesn't use any internet connection, but it works in the private lan of 4 pc's (and a server).
About your last question actually I don't know which is the connection protocol used in the net 😅
I will see it in the next few days. 😖

But indeed, getting DOS "packet drivers" to work can be a real pain.
