standard TCP-IP link (like ethernet or even (slowly) dial-up).  There are
clients for MANY platforms including DOS, Windows and GEOS (although
NewDeal's GEOS doesn't speak TCP-IP).  And I think that the existing DOS
client is pre-wired with WATTCP - but the source is available if you want
to compile your own and do whatever you want with it.  Aside from the
ability to allow many platforms to access
