two things you can try:
1. use DLM to download the CONFIG0C.S19 file. Make sure to use the
-eeprom flag. This will cause it to burn the config register to the
proper value.
2. Have you tried Randy Sargent's DL.EXE for DOS / Win 3.1 full
screen DOS mode. This is part of the freeware interactive C zip
archive.
let us know,
