Login to DOS: I read some of the postings on this subject a month or 2 ago, but missed some of the details. Two questions: 1. What are the details of "redirecting" the console on a MESSY-DOS machine, to login from a terminal or another machine thru the serial port? 2. If I use PROCOMM (the P.D. version) in host mode, I can login and get a menu. Everything works fine until I shell out to DOS, then it just locks up. Any clues? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- On another note (rather than post second article), Does someone have a list showing disk access speeds for the common drives (Seagate, Miniscribe, CDC, etc.) and possibly the encoding method (MFM or RLL)? Or a pointer to a source of this information? I could really use this...(don't want to recommend an 85 ms. drive for an 80386 machine :-) BTW, if anyone needs it I have a file with formatting parameters for 100+ drives. I think when I collect speed info I will add it to this document. Thanks for your time. -Dave Mundhenk :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: EMAIL: ...!att!holin!doc | "I can't complain but | /^, VOICE: (201)-580-4943 | sometimes I still do"| / } _, , , __ #include <std.disclaimer> | - Joe Walsh | /_./ (_l |/ <~_ ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Any clues? > For remote access to your dos machine try Dosgate. I use it with my packet system and it seems to do quite nicely. It has the needed security for allowing other to access it also. ******************************************************************** * 'Captain' Kirk DeHaan "There's a lot to be said * * Sun Microsystems Inc.
