Re: Got some questions?

This is how I do it right now.  I have both linux and Dos on two machines
both with Ethernet cards.  I run Linux as the server and I have dos just
as a client.  I have programs in dos like pine lynx telnet and ftp.  I
have also mounted linux drives in dos so that I can edit files on my linux
server from dos.  If you want I can send you all the program names I use
and if you need I can even help you find the newest copys  of them.  You
can also hook straight with a null modem cable using a normal comm program
but that is so slow and you won't be able to get all the cool stuff like
mounted linux drives in dos.  However if you go the way of using a comm
program you can also use nettammer which I know a lot of modem users are
using to web search but then that is not realy needed if you are running
something like lynx in linux.
