No, you will not be able to communicate with the greater internet unless you get a routable account from your ISP. (You will also need to get yourself allocated a block of addresses either from your ISP or nic) > - Is there any "REMOTE X" type applicatione i can use on dial-up? Sure are, a couple of good free/shareware ones are Xwin, and Xwin32, you can also get some pretty good stuff from chamelion, but it costs $$$. Of course you can also use another UNIX box running Xwindows. > - Is there any way i can do one of the above from a DOS client?
