I used to have this set up. I've already told Phil I'll try to remember
how... When I've got it re-worked out I'll post the answer here.

AFAIR I had it set up on NOS 0.41 and haven't tried it on NOS 0.42.

I know that the telnet server (i.e. the bit in NOS that used to let
people telnet into your compturer) disappeared from 0.42. :( That means
people can't pop in for a chat anymore. <sulk>

The FTP server looks as if it's still there though. Will let you know.

WHich is exactly why I used to have it set up.
Why it got un-set up is because it's such a pain in the neck trying to
explain to people over IRC how to use their Windows or Mac FTP clients!

Emailed him once, got a reply about 4 hours later :)
