} (make sure the BOOTP option is setup)
}

} Network
} None, or Class 1 (ethernet) packet driver connected to
} a TCP/IP network. You may, of course, emulate a Class 1 packet
} driver if you have the required software for your particular
} system (i.e. PPP, ODI, SLIP, etc).

} DosLynx is known not to work on the following systems:
}
} DOS Versions below 3.0 will not work properly.

} 0.8 alpha will be the file named DLX0_8A.EXE which is a self-
} extracting archive.

} application. You will be able to find the new versions via binary
} anonymous FTP to ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the pub/WWW/DosLynx directory
