That it does. It sounds to me like the XT running NetTamer talking to the Linux box running pppd would be a likely winner then (terminal servers and the like notwithstanding). I know this approach works, as I had my Palm handheld surfing the web this way a while back. Does that sound about right Samuel? The bummer is of course you're stuck with a serial link, despite the availability of a network. Constant, any chance your wife would give up NetTamer for other programs with similar functionality? Can anyone suggest any ethernet/packet-driver capable packages for DOS that might help? If nothing else Constant, you might configure terminal (shell) access alongside NetTamer on the XT. Perhaps you could introduce her to some of the Linux shell-based tools that provide equivalent functionality, and possibly open up more doors? Then you could move the XT more than 25 feet from the Linux box. :) - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
