For some, dos is a thing of legend, cavorting with such mythical creatures
as punch-cards, paper tape, COCO II, and the Timex membrane. I hadn't
noticed you mention anything dos, and didn't want to see you overlook an
avenue of exploration.

It was a happy day for me when I finally graduated to ethernet. I have had
few occasions since that required serial or parallel connections, but still
keep my cables handy just in case. 

I will admit to a persistant curiosity about such networking in linux
though, but have too many other distractions at present (priorities change
though.)


It could be worse ...
