assistant: Hi Tim...
Was having providor related problems, but I see from my logs that you indeed
did finally manage to connect  and login. Only real problem I have with this
providor is that fro some reason or other my usr v.everything will suddenly
be
disconnected (carrier drop) and my link dies. Happens at random and both my
providors tech support and myself are about out of ideas to resolve it. Have
tried numerous things from changing init strings to changing the phone line
for one of my other lines. Still happens, no rhyme or reason to it. The USR
reports loop loss disconnect as the reason for the carrier dropping at times
but now and again it reports gts cleardown, which according to the manual has
something to do with the phone co's equipment. I  run injoy now so it redials
on a disconnect but it's still a pain...

about Warp 5 on the net, however I don't have the URL handy (it's bookmarked
at work, but not here). Warp 5 is to be micro-kernalled and is to support the
PPCP (formerly CHRP) PowerPC standard computers which will also run MacOS,
Linux, AIX and other operating systems. One of the features is a "journaled
filesystem". I imagine this will work rather like UNIX filesystems, where
/dev/cdrom is your CD-ROM drive, and so on. No drive letters.
