Russ:
My Internet Explorer also accepts telnet://aztec2.asu.edu in its URL box
and opens up HyperTerminal
Oddly, HyperTerminal asked if I wanted to install a modem, I replied No, and
it connected ok.
But if I create, in REBOL, the server by:
>> listen: open tcp://:8001
what would I use in place of "servername.com" in your
remarks about Netscape?
Thanks in advance!
