Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Need DOS TCP/IP connection solution.

If you just want to transfer files then depending on what network card you
have a good combination is Kermit for DOS which includes it's own TCP/IP
stack in combination with a packet driver for your card. Very low or no
memory overhead if you unload the driver after use.

For Kermit see http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html
For packet drivers see http://www.crynwr.com/

Kermit is available for your MAC too
