Thanks. -> -> John Both of those are good for some circumstances. If you dial in to a Unix system on a regular basis, use the ST Unix Windows client. It lets you open several terminals at one time and takes better advantage of the Unix system. The only problem is if you have a low bandwidth modem, one window producing a lot of output will make the others really slow. The client and server side of Unix Windows is available through anonymous ftp, but I don't remember what sites right now. I've only run this on my 1040, so I have no idea if it works on newer Atari machines. -- Jason C. Austin j.c.austin@larc.nasa.gov
