Well, one of the major points of using Freedos, it's not like I don't have 
a copy of MS-DOS around, is to be in a safer licensing situation.  It only
seems logical for a Freedos download site to focus on supporting people who 
want to access it from a similarly open source platform.  I've enjoyed the 
pre 1.0 release, one of my interests has been getting the source code and
studying it.  I'd like to help the Freedos people continue development
if possible.

I have a hunch that ibiblio isn't working because of a port 113 issue,
but that is just a hunch.  I really don't get how the whole port 113
mess got started and why it is still a problem today.

Thanks for the answer Rogan.
