Mike,
Thanks, I have been trying out rmenu first. It does work! I could probably do what I want that way. I will look into the others also. It just surprised me that actual telnet and ssh host programs for DOS had not emerged yet. rmenu is talking on telnet protocol, i think, at least the port so I guess it kind of counts as that. Would an ssh host for DOS based on openSSH be just too intensive for the DOS environment, because of handling the encryption? Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated! Your work on the mTCP stack is excellent and I am trying parts of it now that I have a working TCP/IP DOS system. I must say that this has been a real blast!
