I still use dis, but that's mainly because I'm lazy, and can't be
bothered to write 3 batch files.....actually less than that, as I run
cppnews I think I need 1 batch file just to automate the login.

Hmmm, despite the fact I'm going to start sounding disloyal /* ?? */
This is possible in jnos using the net.rc file and an add on called
autoftp, which is in pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/misc due to this question
being asked previously, personally I'd stick with that rather
than reinventing the wheel.

Hmmm, I've got bc++ 3.? somewhere might be worth trying that, it might
also shed some light on my problem with the dial option on my home
machine.

If I can get them working I'll porbably play with those for the
server box I should be getting together RSN, I'll need as
much memory as possible to run all the servers I want.
