Winfossil i had heard of but not tried, and thought that it was merely 
another front end fossil driver, nothing indicated to me that it was a telnet 
server, but I will check it out. Netmodem I have heard a lot about, and 
telnet server WAS mentioned often regarding it, and COM/IP I have seen 
mentioned but with problems associated. Thats the big 3, not quite 'many' eh 
. Just kidding Matt. I dunno, Although I am capable with win95 and NT, and 
still prefer OS/2 above either ot them, I am leaning more and more towards 
Linux for my next system. It just seem like the best for internet handling 
and BBS as an all in one box. Plus, it multitasks with the best of them.
Adios for now,
