Can you keep the line lengths down, try viewing it in an 80 char wide window,
practically unreadable...

Yep. It's possible, you need to set AmiTCP up so it acts as a gateway.
Really you'll need the manual, ie the commercial verson.

Phil may be able to help you out here... Unfortunately my second machine
(CDTV) died before I had a chance to try and run two machines together :(

Also you'll find that doing this is contra to the contract you have with
demon. Strictly you're only allowed to use one machine, so what you're
doing now isn't allowed...

There is a network set aside for this, and details in some of the RFC's.
Start with 1597.

No, 'cos you'd be using AmiTCP... Finding help getting the peecee set up
should be easy enough. But I'm not sure that even two accounts would
cover it... Check Services.txt
