RC> Can you share your set up for FD (version 2.26SW or older V2.02NC?) to hand
RC> connections only via IP (no modem at all) ...

Under OS/2 and SIO/VMODEM it was different, when I used COM/IP and BNU.COM it 
was a hair different.  I'm using NetSerial (www.pcmicro.com) and NetFoss now 
... but sure I'll post my FDNODE.CTL file.

Only issue with FD is the Zmodem send/receive BLOWS. :(  Sometimes it will 
just NOT send and just sit there trying to resend for DAYS.  Receive ususally 
works well, but SEND stinks. :(
