This topic is dead! It’ll stay dead. Vanilla DOS and the internet just don’t go well together. Linux with DOSEMU, a VMWare solution, or whatever, would allow a contemporary networking experience while still allowing DOS compatibility.
DOS and networking has some serious issues, namely the lack of memory it leaves. Some DOS-alternates help alleviate this though.

A condition affecting web pages or web sites where hyperlinks gradually fail to connect to a live resource over time. Either links become less relevant over time, or they have ceased to exist. When an author adds a link to an outside web page, it is not possible to guarantee the link will always function. For link pages that have moved, some can be kept updated over time but often Web content moves without notice or automatically forwarding the user to the new site.
