Yep. I don't know about trumpet for dos yet. I've seen it, and have the
file, but haven't had a chance to install it yet. It might show some
promise. According to the people at Caldera, there should be some tcpip
protocol forthcoming. Whatever they do, hopefully it'll be visible across
the tasker. I know that ethernet worked for it, so I see no reason why
ppp shouldn't. 

Also, the ppp driver can be written to a batch file that would check for
the driver being loaded before exit, and redial if the driver isn't
loaded. But, I guess klos ppp is better. Except the telnet and ftp stuff
won't work with it. What I'd really like to see run is the real Lynx
client. It'll do all you'd ever need. FTP, news, web, and maybe evn
telnet, I've never tried it for it. It'd be nice, I like it under every
other system I've ever used it.

DOes it have rfc1213 ? I need to be able to get onto efnet thru
dos, since that is where the opendos channel is located. If not, then
maybe the official irc channel should be moved to a different server.
I've managed to get onto irc.blackdown.org with it, and they might
be willing to host it, as long as they see it as a GNU project. Besides,
it's a huge network, and there's only maybe 100 people on it at any given
time. OK, ttyl.
