I think it's Local Area Network accesss, not Internet. My client had a similar
setup, with computer-controlled lathes running Win 95. The order-processing
machine generates a lathe-control file and uses the LAN to write it onto the
lathe's hard drive. (And yes, we can re-generate any of them at any time!)
The lathe manufacturer is not interested in 'upgrading' his windows
installation.
