It's not quite my only, but getting close. If 'Aurora' wasn't for PC only
I might use that more, but I like a standard interface.

I can see that happening.

I don't. My net connection is primarily through work, on the DEC
Alphastation under (spit!) OSF/1, although I have a CompuServe account
as backup. On my machine in England (which is at my house there, relaying
stuff to me at work here in Germany) I run KA9Q, which is a complete
internet node package using PPP or SLIP and containing its own TCP/IP
stack and a multitasking OS on top of DOS. Eventually that machine will
be converted to Linux and use the Linux TCP/IP stack.

CSDPMI is pretty good, but not as good as the new QDPMI (since I use
DesqView extensively under DOS, the Quarterdeck programs are better
optimised).

Which is why I stick with DesqView. True preemptive multitasking...

What's the difference between that and MSDOD 6.22?
