Nice article!

I remember using a (modern) PC a few years ago that had working DOS packet drivers and which could therefore connect to the internet from FreeDOS.

There's even a version of the "links" web browser for DOS that supports all the modern-day encryption standards (frequently a weak point when one tries to use old software with the web!)
