	There is a program on sunee.waterloo.edu (129.97.50.50) in 
	pub/wattcp. It is called telnetd and it runs on a PC with an 
	Ethernet card and a packet driver interface to the card. Basically
	the program runs on a PC "listening" to the Ethernet port. One 
	can telnet from a remote machine (I tried from a Sun 3/60 and it
	works) to the PC that is running telnetd. Once connection is 
	established then whatever is typed on the remote computer is echoed
	on the PC and the output is also sent to the remote machine. When
	I tried it from the Sun I started a telnet session in a window
	(under X windows) and telnetted to the PC (which was already running
	telnetd) and after connection was established I had the DOS prompt
	in a window on the Sun !

	Couple of points to be mentioned here:
	- Security is extremely weak in telnetd. The only security is in
	the form of a password that is [optionally] required of any user
	attempting to connect to the PC. The password is stored in an 
	non-crypted form in the config file on the PC. The online documen-
	tation makes a note of the weak security.
	- When the remote machine closes the telnet session it reboots the 
	PC
	- I have not yet tried running the telnetd program under Windows 3.1
	I shall try it out sometime today.
	- The telnetd program takes over the PC when waiting for incoming
	telnet requests i.e. the PC can't be used for anything else
	- I am not sure if multiple incoming telnet requests can be 
	handled (I have not read the manual completely yet).

When I tried to figure this out (I noticed it too) it seemed to me
that the estimated transfer time was based on the baud rate as
specified in the dialing directory entry, not the actual connect rate.
The dialing directory baud rate should be the maximum possible DTE rate,
e.g., allowing for all compression, etc., which is how I had it
specified.  Transfers at this maximum possible rate are very unlikely,
as other threads in this group have revealed.  Therefore, actual time
will almost always be more than estimated time.

This is particularly true when transfering compressed files, e.g,
zipped files, as, according to what I've read (someone correct me here
if I'm wrong), there will be little added benefit from v.42bis
compression and actually negative benefit from MNP5.

Of course, this explanation won't work if the baud rate in your dialing
directory entry is the same as the connect speed.

I am a very happy user of Word2.0 for Windows.  I just wish it did not use 
so damn much HD space!
About the previous question comparing WP for Windoze and Word 2.0...
Every publication I have read says that Word is more refined as a Windoze
appication, and easier to use because of that.  Wheras WP for Windoze is 
their forst Windows word processor.
Look here: we are comparing version 1.0 of a GREAT program to version 2.0
of a GREAT program.
Now, I said that I am a happy user of Word 2.0.
If I had the money, I would switch to AMI Pro 3.0 in a second, or wait for
WP 2.0.  (I only have Word2.0 because it came with my Gateway system).
Now, if we wanted to make a fair comparison, compare Word 1.1 to WP 1.0
WordPerfect is the hands-down winner.
And I can honestly say that NOBODY can even come close to the HIGH QUALITY
of WordPerfect's Tech-Support line.
When WP2.0 comes out, I will definately look for a "competitive upgrade"
from Word.  Not because I don't like the program-- I do.
I just like WordPerfect (the program, and especially the company), a 
whole lot more.

Just my 2 cents worth...

IBM's BASICA  will only run on an IBM machine.  IBM machines include a ROM
with a very limited version of BASIC.  BASICA expects to find that ROM to
run the core BASIC functions.  To run the BASIC interpreter on a clone, you
must use GWBASIC or some other self contained interpreter.

If you want a BASIC interpreter, I suggest buying QBasic - it is a striped
version of MicroSoft's QuickBASIC compiler and works quite well.

If you are using SSTOR then EMM386 is loaded in a file called DCONFIG.SYS.
When you boot a SSTOR drive, DRDOS looks in DCONFIG.SYS and loads anything 
there just as if it was a CONFIG.SYS. The last things in DCONFIG are a driver
that switches C and D:, making C: the compressed disk and D: the uncompressed
disk, and then a CHAIN command to chain to CONFIG.SYS.
If you want to load a different EMM driver, you need to put it in D:DCONFIG.SYS
. Have I confused you? I've confused me. Good luck. JJH

I am not too familiar with artificial intelligence programs, but I recently
became involved with neural nets.  You can read up on them in
comp.ai.neural.nets (or something like that).

Two pieces of software (for the MSDOS machine) come to mind as premier
neural net software:  Brainmaker and Dynamind.

Brainmaker became the inofficial standard for neural nets, but is inflexible
and slower than the more recently developed Dynamind software, which can be
purchased separately or purchased with Intel's neural net chips (over 2
billion connections per second!).

Hope this helps,

Peter, evidently *you* didn't read the GNU copyleft very carefully.

If you use some GNU code in a program you write, the GNU General Public
License effectively requires you to distribute the ENTIRE program under
the GNU conditions.  In particular, you have to give away, for free,
*your* source code as well as theirs.  (See their definition of "complete
source code" if you don't believe me.)  And if someone else uses what
you've done in a bigger program, they become subject to the GPL as well.

Some people who object to this restriction refer to the GPL as the General
Public Virus because of its self-replicating properties.

I have personally been involved in a free software project wherein we
refrained from using any GNU code, simply because we wanted to use our
distribution terms and not GNU's.

There is a big difference between free software and PD software.
For some purposes the difference does not matter; but claiming that
it never matters merely shows your ignorance.

Hey can anyone help me with a GOOD public domain or shareware wordprocessor
for OS/2 or Windows??  The name of the program and where it can be found
would be of help...

Thanks...
Darren
BTW OS/2 2.0 is the version I am looking for.. thanks,.

That's really a matter of opinion, don't you think?

In any case, I'm most pleased with PC-Cache from Central Point's PC-Tools here.
I'm using version 6.0, while 7.01 is the latest, but it's impressive. It can use
extended, expanded and conventional memory, and if I ever use the machine
without the cache, it's remarkably slower on disk access.

On the other hand, it's commercial, while there's good shareware packages like
HyperDisk around. I believe HyperDisk has hotkeys to turn off the cache, turn
off delayed writes etc. Not sure though.
