Hi Jerome.

To deal with the points I think you're looking for...

 1. ELKS has been bootable for at least the last three years.

 2. ELKS currently has SLIP access over a null modem cable to another
    computer, so can be indirectly connected to the Internet. One of
    the developers put a system running ELKS on the Internet as a
    static web server for his network a while back, and there wasn't
    any noticable speed difference between that and the web server on
    his Linux box on the same ethernet system.

 3. ELKS does NOT currently have support for any ethernet cards, but
    support for the NE1000 and NE2000 cards is under development, and
    possibly also for other cards.

 4. I am not the person to ask about applications under ELKS. That is
    better asked on the ELKS development list, which I have CC'd this
    email to. Somebody on there can better answer this question.

Best wishes from Riley.
