You can basically CTERM out to other boxes and download files using a horrendous GUI to FAL. But it works nicely, does LAT too. Sampsa Fun! Where would I get it? ;) While you're at it, DECnet/DOS was really nice for the time. I believe (but am not certain, can anyone clarify?) that it is what grew into Pathworks. DEC made an 8-bit ISA Ethernet card, that also (inexplicably) had a port on it for one of the DEC "puck" mice. DECnet/DOS supported file transfers and CTERM, and I think LAT but I may be misremembering that part. I seem to recall it having worked pretty well. At the time, I was using it on my home network, which consisted of a MicroVAX-II, a VAXstation-2000, and a 16MHz 80286-based DOS machine, the latter of which was state of the art at the time. Does anyone have a copy of DECnet/DOS? I no longer do, at least not that I can find. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA Hello! If this card is the one who had strange ears and also worked in of all things an IBM PC/AT model 5160, then I believe I have it on floppy. Now this presupposes that I can find the blasted thing, and can convince the only machine I have who can read the blasted things, to allow me to stuff the binary blobs into a zip file then yes I can do that. This does not explain why there are four yetis outside your place drinking cheap booze and eating cheaper food. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
