Well Chris ( MAy I call you that?)
I want to be able to use this linux machine as a terminal... I
constantly have to dial into customers that have a unix system(can't
disclose anymore than that)in windoze I use procomm plus as my emulator,
Basically i want to be able to do what I do with procomm with the ability to
do scripts. I don't have to have a very powerful pc to do that. Plus I
need the practice what better way than this. If I could ask you to help me
out, you mentioned you had a similar setup, I unfortunately do not have a
cdrom, Do I need one? I know it would help... but I want to see if I could
get it to work with floopies. I know it a lot of work... Thank you in
advance,
