I tried Ice the other day... Not much luck getting it to work. NOS, on the other hand, works great with only one problem... NOS doesn't support dynamic IP addressing...which means I have to type in the correct IP address really quick...before my provider handgs up on me! Because of this...I've not used Oasis1 much...and Oasis2 doesn't seem ready to use yet. One very simple thing that would quickly persuade me to go through all the currency swaps and over seas mailing to register the package is adding a GET_IP option to the NOS dialer, and the addition of multiple pop accounts. In lieu of memory requirement, and multitasking stability...I highly favor NOS to ICE at present. The addition of dynamic IP support, and multiple pop accounts would make NOS a very stable TCP/IP foundation for Oasis. Were http added to NOS, it would really be an internet beast that should be quite suitable for use with CAB. I am looking forward to seeing ICE evolve and improve... I just hope that NOS doesn't get abandoned, when a couple of small additions would put the atari platform quite solidly in the internet. Brian
