Should be doable.

Neither do I but my cousin was showing his off one day getting hockey
scores etc. off the internet with it.  Looked like a BBS menuing system to
me.  I asked him how much that service was costing him and he bragged it
was part of his monthly fee.  A month later the bill showed up and he quit
bragging.  Heh, heh.  I think he can keep it.  :-)

Exactly my point about networking and browser capabilities.

Oh yes!  A very good plan methinks.

The problem there is that Linux can already do TCPIP.  It's Windows that is
crippled that way.  Also I would never put server software ported from any
Unix onto a Windows box.  It isn't the same by any stretch of the
imagination.  I'm content to leave Windows well enough alone and only
concern myself with compatiility of them connecting to the Linux box as a
user.  How about you?

Life is good,
Maurice
