Right now I'm trying to find hosting for files I have to share.  You can find some stuff at my Internet Archive account here.  I also tend to upload stuff on VOGONS.ORG and the Vintage Computer Federation Forums as well from time to time.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Due to the questionable to "gray area" nature of providing "commercial" operating systems, and the fact that I tend to support "Open Source" projects more than I do for profit consumer software when off-the-clock, I won't be providing any software from Apple, Microsoft, or any other "for profit" vendor unless it is explicitly allowed as "freely distributable" via the internet. Most EULAs don't allow for public distribution and while most technies don't give a crap, most lawyers (stupidly) do. So I'd rather avoid any Cease & Decist letters and just put "safe" stuff up here. Basically that means, until I have the blessing or promise that the company won't sue my ass off for providing what basically could be a "public service", then I will continue to support things like Linux and FreeDOS here rather than Windows.
Internet & Networking Applications
Web browsers, internet chat clients, HTML Editors, FTP clients, Telnet Clients, Network Tools, Network Utilities, SSH, TCP/IP general, basically stuff that allows you to connect a vintage computer to a network, including the worlds largest network - the internet. Yes, you CAN put your vintage x86 IBM Compatible on the internet, even in 2022. While some functionality may be limited - there's still a lot of things you can do like Telnet to Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes), chat on IRC, or even surf the web in text mode in Links on a 386+, or even host your vintage machine as an FTP Server for file xfers.
Link Title] O/S Description
Link's Web Browser (offsite) DOS TLS 1.2 Compliant Web Browser for PC/MS/Free/DR-DOS, uses WATTCP, minimum requirements are 386SX + 387 or higher, around 8MB of Disk Space, internet connection
mTCP Suite (offsite) DOS TCP/IP Utilities for DOS written by Mike Brutmann,
AOL Instant Messenger 1.0 Windows 3.1x AOL Instant Messenger Client for Windows 3.1x - works with AIM Phoenix
DiDaPro WYSIWYG HTML Editor Windows 3.1x HTML Editor for Windows 3.1x, this is the same one I used to use to compose the original Creeping Network website back in the 2000's. This is basically a Shareware installation but I have no idea if the company is still alive or not.
FLMAIL e-mail Client DOS SVGAlib E-mail Client for DOS, works with some security protocols, tends to work best in 16-bit color or higher, but does run in 256 color (with a weird color pallet)
LeetIRC Client DOS DOS IRC Client by Mike Chambers, created back around 2008, feels a lot like mIRC
DOS Lynx DOS Lynx Web Browser I used on my 286s, not to be confused with Links found above (totally different browser), not TLS Compliant
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 w/ 128 bit Encryption Windows 3.x Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows 3.1, not TLS Compliant, old browser, one of the browsers I used for Windows 3.1 for awhile
mIRC 5.91 Windows 3.1x IRC Client I used to use the most back in the day, still quite usable today on your Windows 3.1x machine, shareware w/ nag screen
Netscape Navigator 4.08 Suite Windows 3.1x About the closest thing to Mozilla or RetroZilla for Windows 3.1x you could get, has browser, e-mail, HTML Editor WYSIWYG, and various other internet related utilities (dialer, Gopher, Newsgroups, also includes AIM), not TLS Compliant
Opera 3.62 Windows 3.1x About the best browser you can still use/find for Windows 3.1x, that said, it's also not TLS 1.2/1.3 compliant, does not render HTTPS webpages (which none but Links on this page do). HOwever, if there was one that could run with that - I'm willing to bet with some code hacking this probably could.
RealPlayer 5.0 16-bit Windows 3.1x Mostly here for archival purposes, remember RealPlayer, this was the start of internet Streaming in the 1990's - BEFORE Napster ruined everything. Not sure if you can still find RP content online anymore but if there is - here it is.
WS-FTP LE Windows 3.1x FTP Client, very popular, what I used to use to upload files to my websites back in the day, still works, and may even be useful to use with your DOS Machines using mTCP as a FTP Server (I have done that a few times).
NanTan Notebook Computers
Drivers and Utilities for NanTan (FMAxxxxx) Notebook computers from the early 1990's, these include models marketed as Kapok, Sager, NanTan, Duracom, Prostar, BSI, DFI, and many others. NanTan was a Taiwanese "barebones laptop" manufacturer that often made laptops for other companies and brands big and small, this allowed them to have wide distribution. This also makes it a lot harder to identify and find the files for these laptops anymore as many people pass them off as "generic" or "junk" because they are not an IBM, Compaq, Toshiba, or NEC.
Link Title] O/S Description
Notebook FMA3500/3500C/3500SX Utilities DOS/Win3x Laptop Utilities, Drivers, and tools for the NanTan Notebook 3500, 3500C (color), and 3500SX (486SX) notebook computers from around 1991-1993. These were taken from my BSI branded 3500C. YMMV. Includes utilities for the Trackball too (if equipped)
Notebook FMA_9200M/D/C Utilities DOS Utilities for the NanTan FMAP/FMAK9200 series notebook computers. These were taken from my DFI MediaBook Laptop computer from around 1994.
NEC Versa PC-400/410/430/440/450/460/470/480/570/570/490 (Versa Ultralite/E/V/M/P)
Drivers and Utilities for NEC Versa Ultralite/E/V/M/P Laptop Computers - re-curated from NEC's original FTP Site that's down and hosted at my resource page. You WILL need an NEC branded computer to extract these disks to an actual 1.44MB Floppy Diskette in order to use them, as they are all official images from NEC. These drivers/utilities should also work with the NCR/AT&T Safari 3180, 3181, 3182, and Globalyst 250/250P Laptop computers as well. If this section looks a tad different - it's because I actually copied it from my archive at geocities.ws - where I'm hosting all of my files, as the page was made using BlueGriffon and not cold-hard HTML like here. - also, there may be some non-functional links as I'm looking for some documents and files for NEC products at this time that I can't seem to find, such as the UltraLite Versa user manuals and whatnot. Some of these manuals were ripped from the Windows 3.1 *.HLP Files so they might not be perfect either, and some may cross-reference with other files.
