Hi George,

 GW> As you will see from my discussion with Simon Avery the
 GW> software included in Win98SE will allow _Internet_ access from
 GW> another computer. A "router" again only works for Internet stuff.
 GW> It will not allow you to use a terminal program on one machine via
 GW> a modem on another machine.

A friend of mine (and Richards') is looking at making me some sort of
switch box, that might do it.  So I'm hoping:-))

 GW> The only OS I'm certain has that capability built in is OS/2,

I've heard a lot about OS/2, but never really understood it.  Though in
my BBS Chat echo, someone was saying "what a pity about OS/2" whatever
that meant.

Regards.
