Civileme:
Thanks for your replies and ideas. What I mean by a 'standalone' computer
is simply that it is not part of a local area network or LAN. That's all.
When I dial up the Internet, I connect to it for a while then disconnect
from it and revert to a standalone, or, if one prefers, a Workstation
status. That's all I meant. Does that clarify 'standalone' for you?
