      EV>I talked to a fellow who explained to me that the reason I didn't see       EV>Internet Explorer (IE) getting out on the internet in Safe Mode With       EV>Networking was that the word "Networking" referred to the original       EV>kind of networking which was machine to machine.              EV>I'm thinking it was called something like Token Ring networking,       EV>or might even be called Daisy Chaining, I'm not sure but think       EV>that is what he was talking about.              EV>I remember seeing things like that mentioned in catalogs back in       EV>the early 1980's when I started getting interested in computing.       EV>I figured that was only used by large businesses that had many       EV>computers connected together.              EV>Am I close? Thanks for reading.              Pretty much. It does refer to machine to machine networking and not the       internet as I recall.       Haven used Safe more in eons.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
