Hello.
Let me just dive right in. I have an old Pentium 133 computer that's currently running MS-DOS. I want to keep it like that, but would like to use the Arachne web browser to connect to the internet.
I have a cable internet connection at home, and was wondering it it's possible to use a simple RJ-11 phone cable connected between the modem of my modern computer and my old computer to connect to the internet. My thinking on this was that there must be software out there somewhere that "emulates" a dial-up internet provider that I can run on my modern computer which can simulate a phone line and a phone connection to a dial-up ISP, thus the old computer will be tricked into thinking it's dialing out on a normal phone line and establishing a dial-up connection, which my modern computer will then bridge to the internet.
Surely, something like this must exist somewhere. My modern computer has no serial connections, so that's out of the question.
Thanks in advance.
