You will need a 'PCMCIA enabler' program for DOS
(most likely, you'll need one specifically for your particular card)

Try some of these links.....

http://www.google.com/search?q=dos%20pcmcia%20enabler

Or try the support web site of the manufacturer
of your particular PCMCIA card.

Once your have found and loaded the PCMCIA enabler in DOS.... it should
be no problem at-all getting any DOS internet program to then work with
whatever PCMCIA device you have connected.

However,
note that the 'key words' in that statement are "should be no problem".

As we all know....
what 'should be' does not always turn-out to be what actually _is_. ;-)
