However, they don't have the remotest clue how to make a terminal server. They once owned Telebit, but learned nothing (they took the mica technology and ran.)

Oh, come on. The TNT interface isn't that bad. It takes a few seconds to get used to, but it makes sense. If you want an example of horible... go configure some 3com switches/routers. (From a software standpoint, the TNT interface is far more efficient than a menued interface.) --Ricky ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com Archives: http://www.nexial.com/mailinglists/
