Same filesystem, yes. But it actually runs alongside a winsock and
therefore runs at the same time as web browsing, etc. Demon's KA9Q and
its variants would need to be run standalone (and therefore require a
seperate dial-up). They're also not so user-friendly to a Windows user
(which is why us DOSers like it so much :-)

Is there a version of KA9Q which will run using winsock? That would be a
very useful port, but whether or not it is feasible I don't know. I know
there are versions which run off alternative stacks, but whether they
can interface with Windows I don't know.
