Hi guys,
AFAIK the "only" way to get a "pure" DOS prompt on a WINcrap machine is
the "DOS boot disk". Actually works fine & ignores all the WINcrap ...
just go & do ure DOS stuf.
I don't have any "WINmodems" (thank God & his helpers) but have/do use
ARACHNE from a "DOS box" on occasion.
I'm not doing any more ARACHNE stuf 'til 1.60 ... hee hee.
Later,
