Well that answers that. When my friend and Founder of Community Success
Initiative was here and I had hooked up his laptop to my hub, I found
that I could no longer "telnet" using the little terminal thingie. I
thought it had been in win95 but he didn't have it in win98. I finally
emailed it, while his box was two feet away. <sighs> 

I hope the UNIX community of all flavors beats the hell out of Microsoft
for putting the dot above the "i" since UNIX had it way before Gates was
dumping in his drawers. Some idiotic thing like that to get contentious
over and make a terse yet humorous shot across the bow. Maybe we could
stir the pot within this thread? I marked it OT. <grins> Ric
