This is demonstrating a new feature of my ipxbox dedicated dosbox server - it now supports the ipxpkt.com packet driver that tunnels Ethernet frames inside IPX packets. So it's now possible to connect to the Internet from inside DOSbox and use software that requires a packet driver.
This is using Michael Brutman's mTCP stack for DOS: brutman.com/mTCP
There are some instructions here on how to test this for yourself. The server shown in the video is publicly accessible.
