BTW, I'm trying to find out the best way to configure a TCP/IP router
for my WorldGroup server Internet connection. I've heard there is a
DOS application that, taking over the PC, can do the job of a
"regular" $1000 router. Do you know anything about it? Is this a good
option?

And what about this Novell option? I'm a Netware new user... Could you
explain it to me like a teacher would do? :-))

Thanks!!
