Hi guys, I am back after many years.
Meanwhile I became a Microsoft certified system administrator (if you can’t beat them join them ;-).
I want to know if there is a VPN client for Windows 3.x and/or even one for (MS/DR/OPEN) DOS.
There is one for Windows 95, but I would like to know if there is one that can run with even less requirements.
I hope there is one for (MS) DOS, so I can make a VPN connection from a (very small) virtual machine, so I will post my question in that forum too.
I hope some of the ‘old’ guys can help me.
Most DOS internet programs use WATTCP or similar to make an internet connection. Easier than you think to configure for most programs. However, a packet driver for your NIC is required, or else the DOS internet program you use will not work. There is no ubiquitous TCP/IP program that runs in DOS memory all the time – except the packet driver.
Win 3.11 has networking capability built in for DHCP capture or manual setup. It still works today.
If you check out those links I gave you it should get you started and go into more detail. There are no PTP specific programs that I know of. If there are, I’d like to hear about it.
