So did I for a while, remember I sung its praises at first until
trying to do useful things - then it goes wrong :) ISDN is an utter
git to set up, took me 2 days for that and 4 for NAT. Windoze - just
install 98 and it's built in... install Winroute and you have NAT!
Not many apps for the normal user either. Wonder if there's a GNU
Autoroute around... or Everquest... or GP3...
Wait till you try to do CD recording heheh forget the new Raw DAO.
But I shan't deny it's fun to play with :)

I miss them too :) Shame Win2000 hasn't crashed in the 3 months I've
had it installed ^_^

Exactly... hehe it soon gets old when you read 10 pages of "man
suchandsuch" to work out how to edit the rc file and think
"hmm - in Windoze all I would do is tick a box" :)
Have fun
