All that is required is a TCP/IP host. You can run a serial connection to the host and have most of the services without a TCP/IP connection. I can run my machine at home over a serial modem and type this, for example. The only real difference is the transfer rate for files is about 1000x faster if I had a TCP/IP connection at home - but maybe that isn't so far away? Malcolm Reeves
