Hmmmm...my understanding was that COM/IP was able to handle this...obviously 
not, then.
Okay...any ideas on such a beast?  Is there such a 'global telnet driver' in 
the Win95 environment?

That is not an option.  I do not own the system in question.  At the moment, 
I *must* work with Win95...I have no choice in the matter...while I have 
permission to add my own drives to the system in question, I am not allowed 
to change the OS.
I will _eventually_ have my own system installed and in use, but until then, 
I need to set it up as described previously.
