Imagine the possibilities.

An operating system usable by virtually every still-functioning computer in existance today, and a horde of programmers who can work in such a simplified environment that can write virtually any program for any task needed.

Who can write me a DOS 4 web server?

@starraven @shanselman Sioux should work, though you might need the network layer (maybe the one from freeDos could work) http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/

@blackcoffeerider @starraven @shanselman well, I never figured out what is wrong with my quick'n'dirty HTTPS-DOS webserver. But the HTTP-Server I wrote for DOjS is working OK 😂

Update: I figured it out and got it working! IPv6 support did try to enable multicast and the packet driver did not like that!
I'll put together a binary release now.

@starraven @shanselman Sounds like a great way to expose 40 years of vulnerabilities to the internet

@saagar @shanselman

Not necessarily. The operating system is old, but all the network software being written for it would be recent.

In any case, it still could potentially give new life to computers doing tasks for which the latest graphics card isn't necessary, and which aren't needed to be connected to the Internet.

@starraven @shanselman Yes but at some point you’d have a kernel component handing packets from the network
