Yes, for me, it was the first ever _home_ network I constructed -- to connect my and my flatmate's PCs, over a parallel Laplink cable, but via a proper Win95 Direct Cable Connection LAN running IPX, so we could deathmatch in Doom 1. :-) I named it "KEEPIER" after the building we lived in, and as various machines came and went, that LAN name remained for well over 15 years after 2 home moves. It's gone now, sadly. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven Skype/MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
