I still like the OS, as useless as it might have become. :)              my original frontdoor/fastecho/remoteaccess multinode system is one of the       jobs that my main server has... along with apache, ftpserv, weasel for web,       ftp and email... there's also binkd, a jamnntpd server and at least 10 AI       controllers for my tradewars 2000 v3 gold games ;)              as for "useless" that depends on what one wants or needs to do... as a       multitasking OS it works very well for native OS/2 apps and DOS apps...       browsing the internet and stuff like that? i'd rather use another system       simply because of the possible dangers one might run into... i'd rather reload       a workstation than a server, ya know? ;)              )\/(ark              ... I'm too sexy for this conference...       ---        * Origin: (1:3634/12.73)    |
