Hallo Maurice
 HO> What I want to do is to have OS/2 Maximus and the Kids Dos Maximus
 HO> talk to each other   they want to talk to the users on line
 HO> is this possible.
 MK> Try a parallel port connection between the two machines which might work 
 MK> for the OS/2 machine but probably not for the DOS 
The computers are about 50 feet apart, the Kids have thier own BBS
sharing the Echos and file areas on the Novel Server
Thy can only see what I want them to see as I have a adult BBS
But they can communicate in the message areas
 MK> local(s) all at the same time.  Anyhow check out a PLIP-
 MK> type connection and therein may lie the solution to 
 MK> your query.  Let me know if you discover a solution as 
 MK> I might try something simular to this someday.  :)
I will try and Install the Windows version and see if that works
I will post the results here if I can get it going
Cheers Harry
