Even if you are blind, the in industry expectation is that you use a program called JAWS, under Windows. In fact, many companies seem to think that all that is necessary for their web site to be accessible is that it can be used under JAWS.

If you still want a non-graphical environment, Linux would be the operating system of choice.

Whilst there are standards for remoting accessing mail, there are no effective ones for remotely accessing address books, etc., so if you use a network based service for this you have to accept that they will be targeting Windows users only, and any accessibility considerations will assume the use of JAWS + Windows.

By insisting on MS-DOS, you are putting yourself in a position where it is becoming increasingly difficult to support your usage.
