Yes, Windows support is maturing and
doing swell. There are already the
VESA drivers (created by Japheth) that
will soon be able to replace the Trident
ones, so that you can use Windows in hi
color modes also under console.
Also the VxD loader is under development
now - if this works, the compatibility
level will burst.

Why not? The gallery have to be updated:
http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=49784
Every new achievement deserves being
screenshooted. But there is a limit of
6 screenshots, thats the problem.

Have you tried IE 5.5? AFAIK the win16
port exists, although I don't have one.
Would be interesting to test that.

You should be more specific. "connection"
between tapX and eth0 is maintained by
kernel so it is not easy for dosemu to
kill it. Make sure the route to tapX
device exist in your routing table.
Mine looks like this:
---
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.254.254.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tap0
...

Make sure the IP forwarding is enabled.
