Subj : rex.i/TRanSx/\fReEsCo To : MANLEY HUBBELL From : MICHEL SAMSON Date : Wed Aug 28 2002 05:23 pm Hi Manley, About "rex.i/TRanSx/\fReEsCo" of August 27: MH> ...MY IBM [5150]... ...two 360 5.25 floppy disks... ...DOS and a MH> BBS to answer incoming calls... ...com program... ...to dial here MH> or the WEB thru the local LIBRARY using a LYNX connection... On a set of two 5.25"/360 Kb diskettes i as well would have a ~PPP~ DialUp packet-driver included; `MS-Kermit v3.16 BETA 10' would complete `LSPPP v0.8' nicely and it integrates a server... In theory one doesn't need to rely on other external ressources like a FreeNet or a BBS, one's ~IP~ address can even be publicated automatically on a ~WEB~ site, using ~FTP~ scripting... Without regard for the specific function you have in mind, i noticed the *LEGACY* content of your post and just wanted to add my comment: a two decades old 8088 4,77 Mhz 512 Kb ~RAM~ PC can connect with a ~PPP~ DialUp ~ISP~ and allow for ~TelNet~/~FTP~, both directions. Salutations, :) Michel Samson www3.sympatico.ca/bicephale a/s Bicephale .... And then there were none, a footnote in the history of the InterNet! --- MultiMail/XT v0.42 * Origin: BBS Networks @ www.bbsnets.com 808-839-5016 (1:10/345) .
