I seem to recall reading somewhere that lredir does not work with
FreeDOS, or something along those lines.
If you want an alternative to M$-DOS, think about Caldera's OpenDOS or
DR-DOS. This is free for non-commercial use (Hence, not strictly 'free'
as we debian ppl. tend to think of free...) and can be downloaded from
their FTP site. Quite a nice DOS, IMHO.
