I just don't like to see misconceptions about anything getting perpetuated... >to do dialup) it's probably not possible to host a dialup service with >95/NT. Actually, it depends what you're after. If you want a telnet shell account, then no, Windows NT won't do that natively. At least not without add-on commercial software. If you want dial-up PPP and/or SLIP access to the Internet, then NT is quite capable of doing that well. PPP is built in to NT, and NT Server is capable of serving many dial-in PPP and/or SLIP connections in a fashion similar to your average Unix, with many different multi-port serial boards. Now, back to the BSD-centered discussion at hand... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
