Mike and others familiar with the OpenDos kernel,

The Net Send command has enough minor flaws in its function to make it
a nuisance in an educational lab environment at the high school level 
(for example, you can easily use a purposely failed login attempt to
masquerade as another user & then do a profane Net Send All).

Do you know of a way to deal with this other than Net Receive Off?  Is
it necessary to obtain a recompiled command.com with this function
removed in order to negate this command?  Know of any tricks?

Thanks much,

Dennis Holley
