        I don't plan on having a huge file base.  A emulated 1581 for the BBS,
a emulated 1581 for the subs and a emulated 1541 for the files.  maybe a 4th
for the pfiles, gfiles and misc files.  I love C-Net and was real close to
having one up.  C-Net12 was almost ready.
        Now getting it to connect to the internet and answer calls was the last
 part I did not get to work.  This was many years ago.  This winter, when
staying in and staying warm may be the time I dive back into this project.
