Depends on the peers.    Almost all of what I'm doing here is
TCP/IP otherwise...

I use it for ftp,  for local web stuff,  for Samba (linux program that
allows for sharing resource under linux with the w98 box),  and for all
sorts of other stuff.

I had it installed on one box,  but that box was getting a little cramped
on its 80M HD,  and I never completed the upgrade to the new 170M drives I
put a couple of in there.    It got supplanted by what was then
the w95 box (since upgraded to 98).  Maybe one of these days I'll get back
to it.

I've never messed with w2k here,  and have only ever actually *seen* it in
the past couple of weeks.  No intentions of going there,  either.
