Another approach may be to leave the card in the DOS box and somehow
access it from the Linux box. The card has a driver which creates a
device called "OPTIMUM3" which can be used to access the teletext
adaptor as if it was a file. Is there a way to access this file via
TCP/IP?

I'm running Microsoft TCP/IP on the DOS box and mount some network
drives from the Linux box using Samba. Is there a way to do the reverse,
either to share a DOS drive or maybe just the device? I've seen the
FTP-like Samba client but (unsurprisingly) can't see a way to use this
to access a remote device read-write.

Ideas?

Regards,

Mark.
